Can you re-heat cooked chicken?

[ToffeeBlueNose]

i've heard contradicting reports. I was always told no, so what's the answer?

 

[TheFinnFan]

ofcourse you can.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Yes, I do it all the time. Cook the chicken, divide into portions, freeze the ones I don't want right away, re-heat when I do. Simple.

 

[somuchfun]

No, if you try to do that it loses even more energy. A neat party trick is to put a can of warm beer inside an already cooled down chicken in a microwave oven and get it out with ice flakes and sh*t. Wicked stuff.

 

[Goat]

Sure, if you want Ecoli.

 

[heatmeiser]

Yes. Just be sure it's piping hot all the way through - as with all reheated food.

 

[chicoazul]

She says yes as long as it's been cooled for two hours after it's been cooked.

 

[The T-Dex]

Make sure you have rubbed sawdust on it beforehand.

 

[electricblue]

No but you can re-cook heated chicken.

 

[Moomin]

Yes, well I do anyway.

Left over chicken from a Sunday roast will get used the next day in a curry.

Lovely stuff.

Are you saying that you have never microwaved a curry the day after ?

 

[ToffeeBlueNose]

thanks people, general consensus is yes.

I always thought you got salmonella or some other food poisoning like Goat said.

 

[AdamEFC]

Just done it then, haven't got the runs yet like.

no i tend to eat it cold and heat the sauce up put it on chips. I am terrible in the kitchen, i never trust myself with white meats.

That's why it needs to be piping hot, heat will kill off the bacteria.
