Storage and Reheating Tips

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

Reheat the chicken in a 375°F oven or air fryer for 10–15 minutes until heated through and slightly crispy.

Reheat fries in the oven or air fryer for several minutes until crisp again.

The creamy herb dip should be kept chilled and served cold for the best flavor and texture.
