●Storing for a short time

To extend Bojangles chicken freshness, wrap using a plastic wrap or heavy-duty aluminum foil, then place in the refrigerator.

Otherwise, you can put it in a shallow airtight container before refrigerating.

●To store for longer

To store Bojangles chicken for a long time, use an airtight container or wrap each piece of chicken individually in plastic wrap and put them in a freezer bag.

You can also place the chicken pieces on a baking sheet lined with wax paper and put the baking sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes to an hour before transferring the chicken to a plastic bag.

Store at 0 degrees for 12 months and six months at higher degrees.

Note: Bojangles chicken should be frozen within 2 hours after you complete cooking.

How to Thaw Bojangles Chicken

Place the frozen chicken in a leak-proof plastic bag.

It will stop the outer layers of the meat from becoming too dry while the inside of the meat thaws.

Submerge the bagged chicken in cold tap water, changing the water every 30 minutes, so it continues to thaw.

For large pieces of frozen chicken, you can allow them to thaw overnight on a tray or plate in your refrigerator.

How to Reheat Bojangles Chicken

To reheat the chicken, you can use a microwave or oven.

Microwave

Wrap the Bojangles chicken loosely to maintain breading using a paper towel.

Put in the microwave for 25 seconds intervals.

Turn it after 25 minutes to make sure it heats evenly.

Oven

Place aluminum foil in a pan or baking sheet, then put in your Bojangles chicken.

Cover using another sheet of aluminum foil and warm for 450 degrees for 15 minutes.

Serving Bojangles Chicken

It is excellent served with a host of side dishes.

Anything from salad to pasta can be a perfect accompaniment to the chicken.

Salads are a popular choice, as are vegetables such as broccoli or green beans, corn on the cob, or sweet potatoes.

Rice, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, French fries, and even bread pudding are popular side dishes for chicken.

FAQs

How do I prevent the crunch from falling off?

If you want to maintain it, ensure you shake off the extra flour after immersing it in the flour mixture.

The flour does not stick on the chicken hence causing the fall-off.

Why does my Bojangles chicken become soggy?

To prevent your Bojangles chicken from getting soggy, ensure that you don’t place it on a paper towel because it will begin to steam.

When you are done cooking, drain the chicken by placing it on a wire rack.

Why doesn’t Bojangles chicken cook inside?

You may think that your Bojangles chicken is fully cooked due to the outer golden-brown color.

Yes, turning golden brown is assigned to cooking thoroughly, but immersing the chicken in too-hot oil will only cook the outer part.

To test if it has cooked inside, break the chicken crust and check its internal temperature, which should be 165 degrees.
