Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover chicken, fries, salad, and dip separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Reheat the chicken and fries in a 375°F (190°C) oven or air fryer for 5–10 minutes to restore crispness.

Keep the salad and dip refrigerated and separate until serving.

Avoid reheating the salad, as it is best enjoyed fresh.

Cooked chicken can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
