Reheat Fried Chicken In Air Fryer
Description
Reheating fried chicken in an air fryer involves placing frozen pieces into the basket and heating at 160°C (320°F) for about 16 minutes. The air fryer circulation crisps the skin without drying the meat inside. Checking doneness is important using a thermometer to confirm the internal temperature reaches at least 75°C for safety. Alternatively, testing heat by touch can provide a practical gauge.
The optional step of spraying a light coat of extra virgin olive oil in the last minutes enhances crispness and adds a fresh layer of flavor. This method quickly revives fried chicken from refrigerated or frozen states and pairs well with various sides. It offers a convenient technique to enjoy leftovers without losing texture.
Using a thermometer is recommended for precise safety confirmation. If unavailable, testing heat with a knife and finger can be a practical in-home method. This guidance helps prevent underheated leftovers while retaining fried chicken’s characteristic crunch.

Instructions
- Place the frozen pieces of KFC Chicken into the air fryer basket and reheat for 16 minutes at 160c/320f.
- When it beeps following my notes below, check to see if the chicken is fully reheated.
- Serve with your favourite sides.
Notes
- Use a food thermometer to ensure reheated fried chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 75°C for safe consumption.
- If a thermometer isn't available, test by inserting a knife into the thickest part; the knife should get very hot, and you should not be able to hold your finger on it for more than half a second.
- For extra crispy skin, spray a light coating of extra virgin olive oil onto the chicken during the last 3 minutes of reheating.
- Check the chicken at the alert beep during reheating to avoid overcooking or undercooking.
