Honestly same, if anything gets leftover it's the fries or biscuits that come with the family buckets but my family spares nothing with regards to the chicken itself lmao

I put leftover Fried Chicken in my air fryer for about 10 mins and it's almost as good as new. you can also pop it in the oven if you don't have a air fryer.

[@FecalMatador]

Yeah, I use my convection oven whenever trying to make old fried foods nice and crispy. Things like fast food fried chicken retina a lot of fat and oil, so it just refries itself

[@jasonjones3694]

I usually put it in the oven at 400 for 20 mins and that gets it nice an crispy

[@Bedlam66]

@@seamslatasha3598 I thought the same thing but flavor of the spices and herbs in the skin ends up all thoughout the rice and it it's really good. Once you Shred the Chicken and mix it up you don't even notice the soggy skin.

David Rose the chicken also gets dry

[@kchasehenson57]

Original recipe KFC isn't crispy when it's fresh but it's soooo good 💜😎

[@HeadlessChickenTO]

I made curry chicken this way one time where I made the curry and precooked the chicken on the side, and threw it into the rice cooker with uncooked rice at the bottom. Fantastic method for cooking rice, similar to biryani in concept.

[@NaNameYuzu]

Less dishes to do.

[@sanchitipatil]

Yes

[@XenonKirito]

but spending more money at the same time. lol. I mean if it's on discount or you have the money? Then go ahead. Or else it's pretty pricey to just make that into "Chicken rice" You don't exactly have to get it from fast food places you could use those frozen fried chicken as well to save cost.

[@user-sl6ou3qb9l]

XenonKirito You could use any leftover meat basically

[@DevHawk]

The main thing I learned here: I need to buy myself a rice cooker.

[@5ynthesizerpatel]

nope - you just need to learn how to cook rice - a rice cooker doesn't do anything that you can't do with a regular pan on a regular cooker

[@DevHawk]

@@5ynthesizerpatel True, and I've microwaved and cooked my fair share, but do have to admit the thought of "set it and forget it" makes it appealing.

[@hilohaianmolinere7168]

I tried this and I loved it. This will be part of my cooking line up from now on. Thanks Mikey for sharing this.

[@tovopro]

Have you tried removing the breaded skin and putting it aside before putting the chicken in the rice cooker? Bake the skin separately (375 for about 10-15 minutes), and mixing it with the steamed rice/chicken mix? 👍

[@shalomkitty]

Twizzle Vee evil genius

[@petecole4797]

I was thinking the seasoning from the skin is what seasons the rice if you don't add all the extra ingredients.

[@FecalMatador]

Pete Cole I’d imagine the chicken stock as fell as chicken fat that renders off the chicken is what flavors it

[@jasonjones3694]

You just blew my mind 🤯

[@MrKevin486]

Yea but you need the seasoning on the skin to make the rice taste good

[@Azniverson4life]

Wow. I guess I got perfect timing because I literally tried the tomato and rice dish with some spam in it and then you go and upload this. WOO

[@DarkeSkye]

That looks so delicious. I want to make this. The whole tomato reminds me of Middle Eastern food.

[@KingCarlofcarlWorld]

Mike, I started making this over a year ago and I love your addition of the gravy! I have mostly used Bojangles breast and thighs. I change it up every time I make it. I could live off of this.

[@jhhjams1234]

I made it this evening! Used leftover Popeye spicy. Added mushroom and grape tomatoes I used my own chicken stock. It turned out tasty

[@lunayen]

You and me both. I usually hate kfc (we don't have Popeye's) but even *I* want some now.😭

[@carols3517]

Make your own. Use self raising flour plus salt to get that crispy. I usually marinate the chicken in 1/4 cup Tabasco, 1 tsp cayenne, 1/4 cup water and 1tbsp Dijon mustard. Mix and marinate 1 hr or 5-6 hrs. Roll in flour and fry.

pretty sure they got free deliveries if you don't wanna make em.

We have a Popeye's, KFC and Bojangles here, so lots of fried chicken to choose from. I love original KFC (actually have some here right now), and while not a lover of things too spicy, I do like Popeye's regular style when I want a crispier crust. Wonder which would be best between KFC or Popeye's regular?

For y'all that want that crunchy contrast and are willing to do a little extra work, take the skin from the chicken and refry it (takes like 5 minutes) and crumble it on top of the chicken rice when it's done. It's so GOOD!

Trying this tonight ( it’s in the rice cooker now ). The only thing I changed was substituting Japanese seven spice for the chili flakes as I didn’t have any. Oh and I’m using Popeye’s chicken. 🤞🏻

With regards Mike, EVERY Popeyes that I have ever been to has always given me super dry fried chicken and dry as heck biscuits. Best & crunchiest fried chicken that I've ever had has been here in Houston at a Korean restaurant called "Hotsome Chicken". Hope you get to try it whenever you visit H-Town again sir 😊

[@RonnieDDieselReactions]

Thanks Mikey, you gave me another great idea…

[@marcc5768]

What type of rice did you use? Long grain? Short grain? Just wondering since if long grain, 14.5 ounce of the broth doesn't seem like enough liquid for 2.5 cup rice (dry).

[@MrAshura17]

If I wanted to do this in an electric pressure cooker like an Instant Pot, how long would you set it for? and would you adjust the liquid amount?

[@Hupaju]

Usually in an Instant Pot it is 1 to 1 liquid to cup of rice. I mixed 2 cups of short grain rice with 1 cup water and 1 cup chicken stock (2 cups total liquid) at 7 minutes and then a 10 minute natural release so it doesn't stick to the bottom. I imagine you could use the same formula here and add a few minutes for all the other ingredients. I'm going to try 10 minutes when I get a chance to make Mikey's recipe.

[@theantemon6720]

Hey Mike! You think this is good with mushy rice like Jasmine or grainy rice like basmati? I much prefer Jasmine especially as plain rice but using basmati might give it a more stir fried rice vibe...

[@gypsymom0819]

Fabulous Mikey! Question...could you do this in an Instant Pot?

[@phatsmurf575]

I'm making it right now with Popeye's spicy chicken & it's making my house smell so good. Bought the 8piece box so I could make this again.
