in Old style MoneySaving
I've just been and done my shopping and bought a ready cooked chicken. I was thinking of having it for lunch, but a change of plans means I can't. Is it possible to keep it warm till tea time, or wil I need to re heat it, and if so how would I re heat it??
I know it may sound like a dumb question but what can I say!!!!:D
Many thanks
S.

    Hello! I wouldn't advise keeping it warm for such a long time. 2 reasons:
    • it'll probably dry out
    • it'll be a great breeding ground for bacteria
    When I warm up roast chicken, I put it into a pan with gravy, and warm it that way.

    Hiya

    I wouldn't try and keep it warm. I usually just blitz mine in the microwave to reheat.
