Can I re cook chicken?
There is a common misconception that once chicken has been cooked, it cannot be reheated or recooked. However, this is not entirely accurate. While it is true that overcooking chicken can lead to dryness and toughness, as long as the chicken has been stored properly and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) during reheating, it is safe to eat. In fact, it is common practice in restaurants and food service establishments to reheat and serve previously cooked chicken. The key is to ensure that the chicken is heated thoroughly throughout, and to avoid leaving it at room temperature for extended periods of time to prevent the growth of bacteria.
