Notes

  • You can make up to the batter or till shaping the patties and breading them. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Cooked chicken can be stored as per USDA for four days. So it all depends on how long you have stored the leftover chicken.
  • For Reheat: to enjoy that crispy crust, reheat any leftovers in the air fryer or pan fry with a drizzle of oil until crisp and warmed through. Microwave is not a good choice as it will soften the patties.
