Instructions
- Take the leftover fried chicken out of the fridge and let it sit briefly at room temperature. Preheat the air fryer to 430°Farenheit (220°Celsius).
- Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the basket without overlapping so the hot air can circulate evenly.
- Air fry for 4 minutes, flip, then cook for another 4 minutes until hot and crispy, checking the internal temperature before serving.

Notes
- If you want extra crispy skin on your chicken, lightly brush it with a little oil or butter before reheating. This will help restore its crispiness.
- Avoid stacking the chicken in the air fryer basket, as this can cause uneven reheating. It's best to lay the pieces flat with some space in between.
- If your chicken is thick or large, you may need to add an extra minute or two to ensure it's heated all the way through.
- If you want to reheat but don't have an air fryer, the microwave would also work.
