We used the COSORI to air fry this (affiliate link, we get a fee), always check your food with a good kitchen thermometer.

The trick to this one is correctly dealing with your leftovers. To reheat this KFC Chicken Sandwich, I started by refrigerating the various components separately. The next day I reheated the fried chicken patty direct from the refrigerator into the preheated air fryer. If you’re just warming up a sandwich thats still warm, you will probably need barely a minute.

I found that the fried chicken reheated wonderful in the air fryer, if not a little smokey, keep an eye on that. The refrigerated bun mind you didn’t fare too well after a night the fridge, maybe switch that out for a fresh bun and mayo.

Hi, I’m Stuart, nice to meet you!  I’m the founder, writer and wrangler at Gastronomic SLC - Utah's biggest and oldest online food magazine; I’m also a former restaurant critic of more than five years, working for the Salt Lake Tribune.  I’ve worked extensively with a variety of national and local publications, not least helped to consult on national TV shows.

I’m a multiple-award winning journalist and have covered the Utah dining scene for the better part of fifteen years.   I’m largely fueled by a critical obsession with rice, alliteration and the use of big words I don’t understand.  

I'm also a huge fan of the air fryer, obsessively so. On a daily basis I am always asking myself, "can I air fry this". I started Air Fry Guide as a way to catalogue my own adventures in air frying, in the hope it helps others.

How do you reheat a chicken sandwich?

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Make sure to disassemble your sandwich before heating it up. Put aluminum foil on the baking tray and place the chicken and the buns on it (do not forget to keep the condiments cold.) Reheat your sandwich for 5-10 minutes, depending on how many sandwiches you're reheating.

How do you reheat deli sandwiches in an air fryer?

Air fryers are great at keeping crispy foods, well… crispy when reheating them. What is this? Turn your air fryer to 350-400 degrees F for just 3-4 minutes and your reheated leftovers will taste just as crispy as the night before.

How long to heat Chick

Transfer the chicken fillet into the air fryer and cook for five to six minutes (I did mine for 5 minutes). Flip over halfway through the cooking time. This ensures they will be warmed through evenly. If you're heating more than one, be sure not to stack them.

Can you reheat Chick

It does not take long to reheat Chick-fil-A nuggets. Set the air fryer to AIR FRY at 420° for 4 minutes. The high heat and quick time result in a crunchy crispy outside and hot insides. NO need to preheat - this cooking time works including the preheat stage and the 4 minutes cooking time countdown.
