Don't buy fast food! Buy some real chips [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Hmm...this is proving to be a real pain...I've got a full box of KFC chips in the fridge and so far no way to get them into my stomach in premium condition...

Throw em away and buy new ones. This time eat em while their hot. Is that so difficult ?

Damn, another one of life's big problems. Also, can't believe you actually posted a picture of them, as if there is even a single person who doesn't know what they are! You tryina insult even our ignorance Memsy?

I just refry them and put some ajinomoto and salt to make them tasty again.

I think if you put them in a frying pan on some paper (like GladBake, not writing paper lol

) with no extra oil you'll get the best results - extra oil will make them soggy and you just want to crisp them up. Although I have to agree with everyone who said buy new ones [img]tongue.gif[/img] . I've always found a really great way of not eating too many chips from take-away is to put some away 'for the next day' instead of eating them all that night, then in the morning and they look so disgusting and cold and greasy it's really easy to throw them away

LOL! I dunno, Memsiepie, the only times I've reheated them I've done what you do, nuke em in the microwave and they get soggy or bake 'em in the oven.

You could always keep frozen fries in your freezer and bake those when you want them!

Times must be tough Mem if you are seriously re-heating what isn't really food in the first place.

Mate, if you need a loan to buy food, real food, just say!

Here's what works for me.......

Shove them in the mircowave for about 30 seconds on high and then put them in the over for about 5-10 minutes at 400 degrees.

The microwave heats up the insides and the over will make the outside crisp.

But KFC fries are the worst you can find. Fresh Fries from McD's over KFC anyday of the week
