Chicken wings are so awesome that we overestimate how much we can eat and buy too many. You might think to yourself there is nothing wrong with that, but the issue is that chicken wings don’t tend to act great as leftover food. They are usually rubbery when you reheat them and seem like they have lost their flavor.

Luckily, there are a few methods can help you turn back the clock on those tasty chicken wings and make them taste fresh. Check them out below.

Oven Method

If you want your chicken wings to be as great as yesterday, then look to your oven for help. Cover the baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and line the wings on it while making sure they are not too crowded. Toss it into the oven, which you’ve preheated to 350 F, for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the number of wings. Dig in.

Air Fryer Method

Reheating your chicken wings in the air fryer is the best way to make them crispy again. Place the chicken wings in the air fryer in a single layer. Reheat them to 350 F for three minutes. Then flip them over and repeat. It’s that simple.

Microwave Method

The microwave isn’t usually the way you want to go when it comes to reheating chicken wings. However, you can still get great results if you do it properly. Simply take the chicken wings out of your fridge and let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Then pop them into the microwave using a microwave-safe container with a lid. Turn the microwave on high for one minute. Next, flip the wings and let them spin for one more minute. Enjoy.
