I haven’t had fried chicken in a while now mind you, but both when I was a kid and my family would have leftover KFC, and as an adult in the rare occasion I do get fried chicken, I have always loved it more after it’s been sitting overnight in the fridge.
Won’t heat that shit in the microwave or nuthin, just eat it straight cold and love it like that.
I think how good cold fried chicken tastes depends very much on the type of oil it was fried in, and whether it’s been overcooked and/or has sat under a heat lamp for too long. Under the right circumstances cold fried chicken can be fantastic. But it’s pretty easy to make it bad.
