Do you reheat frozen roasted chickens whole or cut up?

It's generally better to reheat a frozen roasted chicken cut up. Here's why:

* Even Heating: Cutting the chicken into pieces allows for more even heat distribution during reheating. This ensures that the chicken is cooked through to the center without overcooking the outer parts.

* Faster Reheating: Smaller pieces of chicken reheat much faster than a whole bird.

* Easier Serving: Cutting the chicken into pieces makes it easier to serve individual portions and makes it more convenient for people to choose what they want.

How to Reheat:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Arrange the chicken pieces on a baking sheet.

3. Cover loosely with foil.

4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.

Important Tips:

* Check for doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

* Avoid overcooking: Overcooked chicken can become dry and tough.

* Add moisture: You can add a little broth or water to the baking sheet to keep the chicken moist during reheating.

While you can reheat a whole roasted chicken, it may take longer and the result may be unevenly cooked. It's best to cut it into smaller pieces for easier reheating and more consistent results.
