Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover chicken, fries, and salad separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat the chicken in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until heated through.

Reheat the fries in an air fryer or oven at 400°F (200°C) for 5 to 7 minutes to restore crispness.

Keep the salad and dressing separate until serving to maintain freshness.

For best results, prepare the salad fresh and reheat only the chicken and fries before serving.
