Reheated chicken is a tad more 'iffy'. A lot depends on how moist the chicken was prior to reheating and whether reheating dried it out- but that is with any meat, it just seems that chicken is more 'iffy' than other meats. For some reason chicken can take on this weird texture that is just all sorts of wrong to me.

It becomes very rubber chicken-like. Too chewy for me.

Yeesh! I can't even picture trying to eat reheated eggs now and I'm pre-op. But chicken... what about reheating it with a little bit of chicken broth then dumping the broth once it's warmed? Wouldn't that help with the moisture? Just curious and learning from you experienced folks.

Yep... foamies is more often caused by something stuck. It could've been too rubbery when you heated it up, too dry or you ate too fast, swallowed without chewing enough etc.. but most likely not dumping. I think that's a good thing though- so now you won't avoid that food, thinking it's an issue.

Yeah the broth does help Joy. But once that chicken gets to that texture Kel is speaking of, kinda like rubbery pressed wood maybe. Its hard to get your yard bird to bounce back from that.

I can't eat the same thing two days in a row....don't even mention two meals in a row.
