Brilio.net - Chicken is a common choice of side dish because of its delicious taste and high nutritional content. Chicken meat is known to strengthen muscles, maintain bone health, and improve the immune system. Various chicken dishes such as coriander fried chicken, kremes chicken, chicken soup, stir-fried chicken, steamed chicken, and even Kentucky chicken are very popular.
Kentucky fried chicken , in particular, is a favorite of many, especially young people. Even children who are usually fussy eaters can become more enthusiastic with this dish. Often, Kentucky fried chicken is bought in large quantities to be enjoyed with family or friends. However, sometimes there is a piece or two left over that needs to be stored in the refrigerator to be enjoyed later.
Enjoying Kentucky Fried Chicken that is not warm is certainly not delicious. Usually, this chicken is reheated using a microwave or air fryer. However, not everyone has these tools. As an alternative, many choose to re-fry Kentucky Fried Chicken, although this method can reduce the delicious taste.
There are other ways to reheat Kentucky Fried Chicken without re-frying or using a microwave, so it remains delicious and tasty when eaten.
Well, one netizen reported by BrilioFood from the TikTok account @dessert.hound on Saturday (1/11), he has a way to reheat Kentucky chicken without having to fry it again. The method is, prepare a frying pan or Teflon first and heat it over medium heat. Then put in the chicken you want to reheat.

Instead of using oil, this man actually added two pieces of ice cubes to the pan containing the chicken. After that, the pan is covered and the chicken can be heated until the water from the ice cubes is dry. If so, the lid of the pan can be opened and the Kentucky chicken is ready to be served.

Reported from heartyhealth.com.au, these ice cubes function to conduct heat to the inside of the food. So, the Kentucky chicken which was originally still cold, can be warmed back up to the inside. The hot steam produced by the ice cubes when heated also helps the texture of the meat to be softer.
However, it is important to note that this method of reheating cannot return the skin to its original crispiness. It is different if the Kentucky fried chicken is reheated using a microwave or air fryer.
