Leftover chicken is so dry, i bbq it then put it in a fridge then the next day when i microwave its so dry?!
Answers: what can i do, I cooked chicken earlier today ten put it in the fridge and just before i ate it and it was so dry after i reheated it in the microwave.
Never put meat or chicken into a microwave. Makes it dry, yucky and rubbery. Next time you can make chicken salad by dicing the chicken, adding mayo, celery and some rosemary, parsely, sage and thyme.
Sprinkle a little water over it then heat it up. If that does'nt work try putting a little water over it then wrapping it aluminum foil and put it in the oven to heat it.
reheat it on the stove with a little water and butter with a lid on low heat.
I agree.....add a few drops of water and bbq sauce too it (not large amounts,) otherwise it will dry out on you.
It's dry because of the microwave or because it was already overcooked. Try using 50% power and sprinkling the chicken with water before reheating it. Also, cover the chicken while reheating it. If it is alreacy dried out, you may want to cut it off the bone and reheat it in barbeque sauce or something else. You may also find that it will stay more moist if you cover the chicken immediately after cooking it (it keeps moisture from escaping) and allowing it to rest for 10 minutes before serving it or cutting it (to allow whatever moisture is in the chicken to redistribute rather than running out when you cut it).
Hope this helps!
