Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Freeze the roasted chicken in freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months.

Reheat the chicken in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.

You can also reheat individual pieces in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes.

For crispier skin, reheat in the oven or air fryer instead of the microwave.
