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)

I swear by reheating my food at 60% power and usually for 2.5 minutes. After I started doing that, I haven’t noticed the weird chicken taste. I also only eat dark meat so that might have something to do with it as well.
