Storage and Reheating Tips
Store leftover chicken and sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Store fries separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Reheat the chicken gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of cream or milk if the sauce becomes too thick.
Reheat fries in an oven or air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 5–8 minutes to restore crispness.
The creamy chicken can be frozen for up to 2 months, but the sauce may require stirring after thawing to restore its texture.
