We have all been there. Having a rushed breakfast, pulling out of the driveway of McDonald’s. Maybe you were rushing to work or on a road trip. For some reason or another, you got your sausage biscuit, and you weren’t able to finish it. So now you want to reheat it.

Before you run to the microwave, we’ll tell you a few things about reheating your sausage biscuit and the best way to do it. Keep reading to find out different ways to reheat your McDonald’s sausage biscuit and what you should avoid when doing so.

Can You Reheat it?

Virtually any food can be reheated, and yes, that includes McDonald’s sausage biscuits.

There are a few different ways to reheat leftover sausage biscuits, such as:

microwave
oven
air fryer

For each way of reheating, there are a few tips to follow to get the best results. For example, if you reheat the McDonald’s sausage biscuit in a microwave, it is best to wrap it in a paper towel. Wrapping it in a paper towel helps keep the biscuit from drying out.

If you do it in an oven, preheating the oven and popping the biscuit in for about 5 to 7 minutes will do the trick. We will discuss this in more detail in the next section, so keep reading.

How Should You Do it?

Now that you know that you can reheat your beloved sausage biscuit, we know you want to know the best way to do it.

As we mentioned above, there are many ways to reheat leftover McDonald’s sausage biscuits from the microwave to the air fryer.

If you use a microwave, using a method such as wrapping the biscuits in a damp paper towel will lock in some of the moisture and keep the sausage biscuit tasting fresh.

When reheating a sausage biscuit in the oven, cooking it at 350 degrees for a few minutes (5-7) will leave the biscuits crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, as if you got it right from the drive-thru.

Should You Reheat it in the Microwave or on the Stove?

Technically, one method of reheating is not better than the other. The method you use depends on your desired results and the time you have.

Microwaving the sausage biscuit will be the most obvious method if you are short on time. It is also the easiest way to reheat the sausage biscuit.

Cooking the sausage biscuit on the stove will take a couple more minutes and a little more effort, but it will give the biscuits a crispy outside and fluffy inside, much like an oven.

You can wrap the biscuits in foil if you don’t have a non-stick pan, and after half a minute over medium heat on each side, your sausage biscuits will be as good as fresh again. Either method works for reheating a McDonald’s sausage biscuit.

Can You Reheat it in the Air Fryer?

McDonald’s sausage biscuits can be reheated in the microwave, in the oven, on the stove, and yes, in the air fryer, too. To reheat your sausage biscuit in your air fryer, preheat it to 350 degrees, just like you would an oven.

Then, after it is heated properly, you can pop the sausage biscuit into the air fryer and heat for 2 or 3 minutes until the sausage biscuit is warmed through. Your McDonald’s sausage biscuit will be as good as new.

If you are reheating more than one, make sure they are separated, so they don’t stick to each other and burn.

Things You Need to Avoid Doing

Here are some things to avoid when reheating:

Don’t use excessively high heat
Don’t reheat the biscuits for too long
Make sure to flip or rotate while reheating
Don’t forget to use a damp paper towel in the microwave

Most of these tips depend on the method you are using to reheat the sausage biscuit. If you are reheating over the stove, you should not turn the heat above medium, or you risk overcooking and burning the sausage biscuits.

Remember, it should only take a maximum of 30 seconds on each side for the sausage biscuit to fully reheat. In the oven, the sausage biscuits should only take a maximum of 7 minutes to fully reheat after you have placed them into a preheated oven.

A good thing to do when using the air fryer or stove is that both sides of the sausage biscuit need to be heated in order to fully reheat the sausage biscuit.

Lastly, reheat your sausage biscuit with a damp paper towel when using the microwave to echo what we have already mentioned. Otherwise, you will risk having a hard and chewy breakfast sandwich, and no one wants that.
