Questions about KFC original recipe chicken breast
How do you reheat KFC original recipe chicken breast without losing the crisp coating?

Pair it with coleslaw, corn on the cob or mashed potato for a familiar fried-chicken meal. Pickles or a crisp green salad cut through the richness of the coating.
