How to Reheat Chicken Wings 4 Ways

Got leftover wings in the fridge? Let me show you how I like to reheat my leftover wings!

A Great 2nd Meal

Whether they’re fried, grilled or smoked chicken wings, rest assured I’ve got you covered.

No one wants soggy reheated chicken wings, so in this blog post I’ll show you how to reheat chicken wings the right way.

So you can rest assured knowing you’ll get a delicious 2nd meal out of your chicken.

If you have the chance, I recommend leaving all your chicken sauceless when you go to put it into your fridge.

Sauce is moist and will make it much harder to get that finished texture you want in your reheated chicken wings.

So tip # 1 is to store your chicken wings with the sauce on the side!

Another way you can combat soggy chicken wings is by placing a paper towel under your wings when you store them in the fridge.

This will help ensure all the excess moisture gets trapped and wicked away from the chicken.

Remember that moisture is the enemy of crispiness!

The most popular, and my personal favorite method, of reheating chicken wings is to use your oven.

The oven is great at reheating chicken wings because it cooks your chicken evenly and the convection will circulate the hot air around the chicken.

If you reheat your chicken wings in your oven, you’re sure to come out with a great result!

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spread your wings out on a foil lined baking sheet or baking sheet rack.
Bake for 10-20 minutes until your wings read 140 degrees Fahrenheit internal (assuming they were wholly cooked prior). The amount of chicken will change the length of cooking time. Be vigilant.
Turn off your oven and carefully transfer your chicken to a heat safe bowl using tongs.
Toss in a sauce of your choice, or make a simple one by mixing hot sauce, butter, and honey!
Serve with blue cheese dressing. Enjoy!

Less popular than reheating chicken wings in the oven, the microwave still gets the job done!
