Fried chicken is an American classic. If you make it in large batches, there's a sure bet that you will have leftovers. You can eat fried chicken cold, but it won't be as crispy as when it is hot. You can warm up leftover fried chicken in the microwave, but that often makes the outer crust soggy and chewy. The best way to reheat your chicken is to use an oven, which produces dry heat.
