Storage and Reheating Tips
Store leftover chicken, fries, salad, and dipping sauce 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 salad and dipping sauce should be kept chilled and served cold for the best flavor and freshness.
