"According to the USDA, it's important to freeze your food "sooner rather than later" to preserve its overall quality and improve its taste upon thawing. With that said, there's no need to be in too much of a rush. It's best to allow your chicken to cool until it hits room temperature as you don't want to put food in the freezer while it's still warm."
"While some say you should think twice before freezing leftover fried foods, Johnson has the perfect reheating method to bring back the crunchy exterior: the air fryer. After a bit of experimentation, Johnson found that it was the re-heating method that brought the crispiest results. The Harlem Biscuit Company owner recommends setting your air fryer to medium heat and allowing your chicken to both defrost and cook within your air fryer."
Freeze fried chicken soon after cooking to preserve flavor and quality, but wait until it cools to room temperature before placing it in the freezer. The USDA recommends freezing food "sooner rather than later" to maintain overall quality and taste upon thawing. For reheating, use an air fryer on medium heat, allowing frozen pieces to defrost and cook inside the appliance to restore a crispy exterior. Air frying revives the fried coating's crunch without requiring large amounts of additional oil. Proper timing and reheating technique help keep frozen fried chicken flavorful and crisp.
