Notes
- Let the chicken come to room temperature for about 30 minutes for maximum crunch and to ensure that the chicken will be heated all the way through.
- Cook similar sized pieces together. If you reheat a breast and a wing together, you will end up with an overcooked wing and a breast that may still be cold in the middle.
- While you are reheating the chicken, keep a close watch on it. 4 minutes is an average cooking time, but you may need more or less depending on the size of your chicken pieces.
- Don’t overcrowd the basket. Leave space between the pieces of chicken so the hot air can circulate.
- If your chicken looks a little dry, spritz it with water before placing it in the air fryer.
