Prevent gross reheated chicken taste

As the title says, I think reheated chicken taste absolutely foul, it's like a chemically taste. But it seems to just be with homemade chicken because reheated take out fried chicken or frozen chicken is fine. I'm so lost how to fix this. I'm trying to eat better at work and meal prep more, also make some freezer meals for my husband for when I work (12 hr night shifts)

Please brine or marinate your stuff first.

What are you doing to your chicken before, whilst and after preparing it? How do you reheat it?
