To reheat chicken in the oven, follow these steps for the best results:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer in a baking dish that fits them without too much extra space.
- Add a small amount of water or chicken broth to cover just the bottom of the dish to create steam and keep the chicken moist.
- Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
- Heat the chicken in the oven until it is warmed through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This usually takes around 15-20 minutes depending on the size and pieces.
- If the chicken has skin and you want it crispier, after the chicken is heated through, remove the foil and broil for a few minutes while watching closely until the skin crisps up.
This method helps prevent the chicken from drying out while reheating and keeps it juicy and flavorful.
