✨Oven Method✨ Preheat the oven to 350F. Cover the bottom of a baking dish with either water or chicken broth and then add the chicken on top. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and cook for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Make sure the internal temperature is 165F before serving.
Just because the chicken is already cooked doesn't mean it can't benefit from a rub. Before reheating, make a custom blend of your favorite spices like paprika, cayenne, onion or garlic powder. Mix in dried herbs or a bit of sugar for beautiful caramelization, then sprinkle it evenly over the skin.
Now, if you do happen to overcook your chicken breasts — don't sweat it. The best way to save them is to reintroduce moisture, which means whipping up a buttery pan sauce or a silky yogurt sauce.
Rotisserie chicken (named because it's cooked on a rotisserie, or rotating pole inside a hot oven) is cheap and pre-cooked, making it a popular choice among shoppers. While it's generally considered healthy, it also comes with significant drawbacks—including high sodium content and some questionable additives.
It works best if you let the chicken come to room temperature first. And since the chicken is already cooked, you don't need to cook it in the oil for quite as long — about 2 to 3 minutes per side should do it, but it's safest to use an internal thermometer and make sure the meat has reached 165°F.
