Step 1

Let the second-day chicken rest in room temperature for thirty minutes and preheat oven to 400°. This allows all the mismatched pieces to reach roughly the same internal temperature (which makes it easier to reheat together). The only danger here is that your roommates might steal a few wings while your back is turned...

Step 2

Cover a baking sheet with foil and arrange chicken on it.

Step 3

Place another sheet of foil on top to insulate the chicken.

Step 4

Bake for 20 minutes.

Step 5

Let chicken rest for 5 minutes and check for crispiness. Dip into your favorite sauce and dig in. #SpoonTip: If the crust isn’t as crispy as you like, pop it back in the oven for another 5 minutes. Be careful of overheating though because dried out chicken tastes good on nobody’s tongue.
