How to Reheat a Spicy Chicken Patty in an Air Fryer
hey dude, so guess what. You know that spicy chicken patty you had like yesterday? Yup, the one that was soooo good but now is just chillin in your fridge getting all sad. That patty deserves better! Let’s rescue that little guy. And what better way than with an air fryer? It’s like a magic box for crispy food. So buckle up, we’re going on a journey to make that chicken patty so good you’ll wanna hug it.
Step 1: Get ur tools ready
First things first, grab the air fryer. It’s the cool gadget you bought on impulse at some late-night shopping spree. Next, dig around your fridge and find the spicy chicken patty, don’t get distracted by leftovers or condiments. The goal here is the patty!
Step 2: Preheat like you mean it
Now turn on your air fryer to about 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Why? Cause we want this thing hot! kinda like summer in Texas but less humid and more crispy goodness.
Step 3: Don’t forget the oil
Ok, so here’s the trick… if you want that chicken patty to be super crispy and not sad like a soggy sponge, give it a light spray of cooking oil. Just a sprinkle! Like you’re giving your patty a sun tan but with oils instead of sunscreen. And no sunburns!
Step 4: Place that beauty inside
Alrighty! Now gently place your spicy chicken patty into the air fryer basket. But careful… don’t just drop it as if it’s hot lava or something! Treat it more like you’re putting down a baby bird or maybe something even cuter… uh, I dunno… a kitten?
Step 5: Set the timer (so we don’t forget)
Set the timer for about 7 minutes. Just enough time to scroll through Instagram and laugh at cat videos or watch how many people fail at parkour on YouTube – real quality stuff right there.
Step 6: Flip it (yes, please)
Halfway through (that’s about 3 minutes in case math isn’t ur strong suit), open up the fryer basket and flip that spicy boy over! It wants equal opportunity to get crispy all over like us trying to get tan on both sides at the beach!
Step 7: Wait for it…
When it dings after those glorious 7 minutes, don’t rush in too fast!! Let it sit for like one minute before declaring victory. This way you won’t burn ur mouth off with molten hot chicken sauce when you’re ready to chow down!
And boom you’d done it!!! You’ve reheated your spicy chicken patty like an absolute pro.
