Re Heating A Whole Roasted Chicken

[smurfchops]

Its in the freezer, is it safe to thaw and re cook whole, in the oven? Will it dry it out, how to cook please.. Tia .

I wouldn't. I'd thaw it and eat it cold.

[Baldric]

Agree, I would not reheat it.

Having just got over a bout of food poisoning, I wouldn't re-heat it. As Naomi says, let it thaw and eat it cold. You could have a chicken salad and lots of lovely, chicken sandwiches.

I've reheated roast chicken many times with no problems. I'd cut the chicken into quarters or 8 pieces. Place in a tin with some stock and cover with foil. Check temp with a meat thermometer if you have one.

I think it would be safer reheated to piping hot than thawed and eaten cold. As pasta says, thaw, quarter then cover with gravy and reheat in a pre heated hot oven until its piping hot all through.
