Does anyone else hate chicken that's been microwaved?

It gets that weird chewy texture 🤮

I’d rather eat it cold from fridge than microwave it. You could pop it in oven or toaster oven to warm it back up, I understand that is not convenient or quick

I don't own a microwave or use them. My boyfriend has one he occasionally uses to mostly thaw meat out in, which I wont eat as it tastes strange.

You may be alone, thinking that microwaving is a viable option for cooking chicken.

I'm ok with leftover chicken cold, cut up in a salad is not so bad...

I'm not sure if you're referring to cooking chicken thighs from raw or simply reheating. I agree that uncooked thighs aren't good in a microwave - but chicken breasts, cooked in a closed casserole dish, taste just like poached. I've had my air fryer for nearly 6 months now and I'm a real convert! Still experimenting with ways of replacing other cooking methods.

Air fryer to rewarm

Microwaved chicken is pretty bad but not as vile as microwaved shrimp. 🤢

I wouldn’t ever use a microwave to cook a meal.

Totally agree. If you reheat it in an air fryer it’s almost as good as fresh. Definitely better than in the microwave.

Yep! Too rubbery when it’s nuked. I’ll reheat it in the microwave on occasion, but never cook it that way.

It gets tough. Cold Fried Chicken the next day is amazing. For some reason, it needs more salt but it is so good.

Reheat it in a frying pan or (toaster) oven.

It loses some quality but it's still good.

You’re not alone microwaved chicken is gross

I only barbecue chicken or broil it in the oven

Yes...it gets rubbery

There's a fine line between moist and rubbery. Just have to find it out.

I’m not a big fan of slabs of any meat. So I would probably chop it up and pan fry it anyway.

that's how I am about salmon

Yep I can understand that

Unless it's reheated sweet and sour chicken.
