Do you reheat chicken? I never have, I get this from my Mum who refuses to. Is it valid to be concerned about reheating chicken?
I never buy a full chicken to roast because we don't eat the whole lot but I have been wondering lately about using the leftovers the following night in a stirfry, pasta dish etc What do you do with the leftovers? ------------- Lindsey

| Eat them!! Sometimes cold chicken sammies for lunch, or chicken salad for tea... |

I make a roast one night, then use the left over veges and chicken and gravy in a chicken pie... then make stock from the carcass.
I've never had a problem with bugs from chicken... I think it's actually rather hard (and sometimes unlucky) to end up with food poisoning. |

Thanks Nikki, I was thinking to make a pie or quiece (sp??). So I suppose if I reheat it thoroughly it should be fine.
Salads are not an option as DH doesn't eat "rabbit food" *sigh* ------------- Lindsey

Yeah the closest he will get is lettuce in a burger, and that is a big thing as 14yrs ago when we met he even refused that! ------------- Lindsey

If we have a roast chicken we use the leftovers in sandwiches or sometimes in a pasta bake (I love creamy mushroom and chicken).
We often cook chicken curries or casseroles for 4 or even 6 and then reheat leftovers the following night. As long as your hygiene is good re preparation and you reheat to piping hot I don't think you can really go wrong

I use the leftovers for tons of things, sandwiches, quiche, pasta, chicken bake (the standard leftover chook fallback). As long as it is cooked properly initially and it is stored in the fridge there is no problem. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I always reheat chicken curries etc and roast chicken as well. As others have said as long as it has been in the fridge and you reheat it to piping hot there shouldn't be a problem.
I got food poisoning once from chicken about 10 years ago (campylobacter - I actually prayed for the sweet release of death, lol) - but it was from a rotisserie chicken I had bought at the supermarket and eaten straight away. Didn't stop me buying them though - it really is a matter of luck to a large degree. |

Reheat chicken all the time, with being preggers I havn't eaten chicken cold and I've used up any leftovers the next day. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |

We always use the left over roast chicken the next day/night too, for some reason it just tastes better. I use it either in pasta, or with cous cous - yum, or on sammies! Although I didn't while I was preggers but otherwise we do it all the time. I wouldn't worry about it. -------------

I reheat chicken to piping hot if it's a day old for myself, preggy or not, and then anything older than that will only be eaten by hubby as his tummy seems to tolerate past-dated foods
