How to Reheat BBQ Chicken in the Air Fryer

Reheat bbq chicken in the air fryer at 325°F (165°C) for 4-6 minutes so it comes out tender instead of soggy.

325°F for 4 to 6 minutes.

1. 1

   Take the bbq chicken out of the fridge while the air fryer preheats to 325°F.

2. 2

   Place it in the basket in a single layer. No foil unless the food is saucy.

3. 3

   Heat for 4 to 6 minutes, checking once at 4.

4. 4

   Check that leftovers reach 165°F throughout with a food thermometer.
