I once tried to reheat fried chicken.

Some years ago, I went to stay in Miami at the house of Dixie´s oldest daughter.
She picked me at the airport and left me at her apartment as she had to work. There was fried chicken there and I just had to turn on the over.
So I did. I was hungry.
The chicken started to "pee" oil as it warmed up. When the chicken pieces were hot, there was a poodle of oil under it.
I thought how we usually ate it immediately (so delicious!) and all that oil was part of the chicken.
It was gross. I never ate them again. I now cook, grill or roast the chicken I buy raw. I don´t eat breaded and fried chicken. I don´t even want to guess how many calories it has.

@marguicha , I can understand that! You were lucky that you had some cookies to consume then!

@AKRao24 I agree. Although I could have peeled it and taken away the bread, it was not appealing.

I could not eat it then. Fortunately, I found some cookies.

I agree. Fat falls off the chicken when in is grilling or roasting.

@marguicha It is. I do think fried chicken is a bit of an American thing.

@marguicha I just got grossed out when preparing fresh chicken to cook. And then when you are eating it you see all the veins cooked and it is just totally gross. I see now why my husband will only eat the white meat.

@marguicha Yes I know. That is about all I buy in the form of chicken these days.

You are right, when we fry meat it absorbs that hot oil. Then, we drain it on paper toweling and eat the delicious meat! It is a very unhealthy thing to do

Fried chicken is oily. Whether you see it or whether you don´t.

That is a good idea. But if the food has too much oil to begin with, it is better to take it away.

@marguicha Yes, the oil is not good any way you reheat it, but you can dab it with a paper towel.
