As long as it is Throughly Hot all the way Through, then yes it is OK.

Do NOT just Warm it as it MUST be HOT.

I do this all the time, Roast a Chicken on a Sunday, half is eaten and the other half is put in fridge. The next day it is served HOT again with perhaps Chips.

Yes, you can!:)

I always use up leftover cooked chicken by making things like a risotto or pasta dish.

You just need to make sure the chicken's reheated thoroughly right through.

No. It's extremely dangerous. Stored within a chicken are tiny people called Chickostulites that lie dormant under the flesh of the chicken. Cooking the chicken activates the little mongrels and they have only 24 hours to mate. Next day chicken is obviously the worst time due to the fact that their full to the neck of reproductive fizzy juice and a hormone called Al Quaeda. The more time after the next day the better as levels fall exponentially with time. By a fortnight they'll have migrated behind your skirting boards and the chicken will be fine to eat. You won't even have to reheat it.

You can reheat any food, once only.

:lol: Hmmm! reheated ice cream is rubbish.
As for chicken I would quite often leave left over cooked chicken for the next day. Dont think I have ever had any ill effects from it.

I asked my local butcher how long I could keep a chicken in the freezer. He told me about 6 months. I did this and when I went to get the chicken from the freezer it was dead. [lol] [lol]

I dont mind re-heated chicken! My mum used to make a super massive chicken for a Sunday then Monday we would have the left overs!!

I HATE cold chicken though! That really does my head in! I dont reheat chicken myself because usually in my house there is no chicken left to reheat! [lol] We are a bunch o gannets!

It is perfectly safe to reheat chicken but as someone else said just ONCE. Golach is right rice can be very tricky and causes more poisoning than you would think.As long as the product is reheated thoroughly then you shouldnt have any problems. Also remember to let it cool thoroughly before placing in fridge as that can speed up Bacteria growth (and ruin other food in the fridge)
