Put it on a wire rack over a baking tray so hot air can circulate underneath, and bake at 200 °C until piping hot throughout. A rack helps prevent the coating going soggy against the tray.
Can you cook fried breaded chicken in an air fryer?
Yes. Arrange the pieces in a single layer and air-fry at 190 °C, turning them halfway through; check that the centre reaches 75 °C, as cooking time depends on their thickness.
How should you store leftover fried breaded chicken?
Cool it promptly, refrigerate in a covered container within two hours, and eat within two days. Reheat until piping hot all the way through; the coating is usually crispest in an oven or air fryer.
Can you freeze fried breaded chicken?
Yes. Freeze it in a sealed container once cool, separating pieces with baking paper so they do not stick together. Reheat from frozen in an oven or air fryer until piping hot in the centre.
