    What's the best way to reheat leftover KFC

    I would say oven at a lower temp for 15-20 minute. Like 160c for 15 minutes.

    I'm not sure wrapping it in foil would be a good idea, it might make the breading soggy.

    And I speak from experience. Do not use a microwave.

    That's basically what it says on the bucket though it does say use foil but loosely

    Though it's already kinda soggy from the fridge. I might try cranking the oven up for the last 5 minutes without foil to try to dry that breading back out a little?

    I usually eat all the KFC fresh so I usually avoid this problem.

    Ah if they say use foil, I'd go with the KFC experts.

    I think cranking up the heat foil off is a good idea. Maybe do 3 minutes then check though to be safe.

    A quick blast at higher heat to crisp the breading might work, soggy fried breading leftovers are just hard to recover though.

    I take it the burger was high in fibre.

    We got a new microwave yesterday which has a 'crisper plate' that is supposed to be good for reheating things you don't want soggy, like pizza or I guess fried chicken. I am highly skeptical.

    You need to buy some fried chicken to test this out.

    I take it the burger was high in fibre.

    It did have a slightly higher veggie quotient, but the main factor was the reduced fat "meat". It was a grind of beef and assorted carrageens/emulsifiers to mimic the texture of the normal quarter pound patty, but lower calorie and fat content.

    While not quite as leakage inducing as olestra was, it came close.

    Oh god Olestra. I remember when that was the rage. I'll never forget the free sample pack of Doritos that were made using Olestra I got at my local grocery store and trying them out. They tasted just fine, but that 1.5 oz bag of 'ritos led an assault on my colon that only Haribo Sugar-Free Gummy bears or Food Poisoning have ever been able to replicate.

    Olestra, the thing Pringles used very briefly because turns out it makes your poo so greasy it slips right past the sphincter. Whether you're ready for it or more likely not.

    The truest advertising Frito-Lay has ever had was the "WOW" designation on their olestra products in the late 90's.

    There was an episode of You're Wrong About that if I recall correctly talked about how this might in fact just have been a byproduct of people eating way more of these chips, since if you eat a bunch of fats at once you can get loose stools. Or it may not have been significant at all, the meme of them causing constant pooping was not backed up by a lot of actual verifiable poopings.

    The only thing keeping me alive is how I forget, for long stretches of time, that I live a ten minute walk from a great croque madam, all sloppy with cream gravy instead of bechamel and with the perfect runny egg on top, and dipping your fries in the leftover gravy and yolk.

    Anyway I remembered today, it was pretty great and now I need a nap.

    Yeah honestly I think I might still be pretty sick

    I just took my temp before a short nap and it was like 99.2 so not super high but going up again. Was really dizzy too. This is unpleasant.

    I want to get better.

    To bring this back to coffee I think I forgot to mention this at the time but I ruined Starbucks lattes for myself. Had to pour out the last one I got a week or two ago. Just tasted like burned milk and watered down burned coffee. Even with the glug of caramel syrup in there.

    Yeah I mean it's not like I usually have the best beans (I use lavazza super crema usually because it's cheap and easy) and milk and stuff around but like I at least give myself the time to prepare it with care unlike Starbucks corp forcing their baristas to turn over an order in like half the time I would.

    I can't even enjoy it as a dessert anymore, at least when they burn the milk.

    I dunno, "fish sauce" is just fish boiled down into a sauce and it fuckin owns.
