Storing leftover chicken
Leftovers of chicken should be stored in an airtight container and placed in the refrigerator within two hours of cooking. The chicken should not be stored at room temperature for more than two hours, as this can cause bacteria to grow and make the chicken unsafe to eat.
To retain all the flavors, store the chicken with a small amount of broth or sauce, as this will keep it moist and flavorful. The chicken may be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days.
For longer storage, freeze the chicken in a freezer-safe container. When reheating frozen chicken, ensure that it is heated to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
