Storage and Reheating Tips

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

Reheat the chicken in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 10–15 minutes until heated through.

Reheat fries in an air fryer or oven for 5–7 minutes to restore crispness.

Keep the herb dip refrigerated and consume within 4 days.

Fresh vegetables are best sliced just before serving for optimal texture and flavor.
