Leftover Fried Chicken Sandwich

Reheat leftover chicken with dry heat until thoroughly hot, then pair it with crunchy vegetables and sauce.

Chicken safety: Keep raw chicken refrigerated, avoid cross-contamination, and verify at least 165°F / 73.9°C internally with a food thermometer. Deep frying uses very hot oil; follow suitable equipment safety guidance and do not leave frying unattended.
