Let me tell y’all something I’ve learned from years of cooking, mukbangs, and making every meal count—especially when the fridge is running low on variety. Even though my freezer is still stocked with seafood, I recently noticed that I’m down to my last few packs of beef, turkey, and pork. But guess what? I’ve still got two beautiful roasted chickens chilling in the fridge—and let me show you how I make them feel brand new again.

Here’s my go-to method for bringing roasted chicken back to life—moist, juicy, and flavorful every time:
“Don’t let leftovers feel like second best—just give them a little love, and they’ll shine all over again.”
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Place the chicken on a baking tray and pour a generous amount of chicken broth over it.
-
Sprinkle on some garlic powder and onion powder—no need to go overboard since the chicken is already seasoned.
-
Cover it tightly with aluminum foil to trap in all that moisture.
-
Roast it for about an hour, and boom—tender, juicy chicken like it was freshly made.
Now, let’s talk health and flavor—because yes, you can have both. I usually follow a low-carb lifestyle to maintain my figure and feel good in my body. One of my favorite tricks? When I use sauces, I always dilute them with either chicken broth or water. The original recipe may call for four sticks of butter (and trust me, it’s tempting), but diluting helps keep it light without losing that rich flavor. Plus, I love squeezing in fresh lemon—not just for the taste, but because it helps the body burn fat naturally.
And here’s the golden rule in my kitchen: Never waste leftover chicken.
Freeze it! Then bring it back in a new dish—like a creamy soup made with cream of chicken, mixed vegetables, and rice. It’s comforting, flavorful, and a hit with my whole family. Oh, and don’t forget to save the broth—it’s liquid gold full of flavor and nutrients.
Most of my meals are a simple mix of:
-
Roasted chicken with lightened-up sauce
-
Eggs for protein
-
Lemon for that metabolism boost
-
Cucumbers and onions for a fresh crunch
-
And just a touch of sweet corn as my carb of choice
It might look like a lot of food, but when it comes to prepping for a mukbang, presentation matters. I make sure my plate is full enough to create that eye-catching thumbnail that makes folks click.
So next time you’re staring at a roasted chicken in the fridge wondering what to do—don’t toss it, transform it. Your body (and your taste buds) will thank you. 💛
