Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Fried Chicken Tastes Better Cold (piefed.social)

I haven't had fried chicken in a while now mind you, but both when I was a kid and my family would have leftover KFC, and as an adult in the rare occasion I do get fried chicken, I have always loved it more after it's been sitting overnight in the fridge.

Won't heat that shit in the microwave or nuthin, just eat it straight cold and love it like that.

Chicken is almost always best not reheated. You risk drying it out, and ruining the texture.

I've not tried it, but a couple of min in the air fryer might crisp up the breading without overcooking the meat.

I've done that often, and it's pretty good. French fries too, you can get one adequate reheat in an air fryer, but it's touchy... a couple of minutes at the temp that works best in your fryer, and nothing more, or they turn into garbage twigs. Still don't finish them and try it again? Garbage twigs. The line between ever so slightly overcrisped, yet still solid, leftover fries and garbage twigs is rather thin.

Re-oil and you will be fine for both.
