Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover chicken, fries, salad, 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 or until heated through.

For the crispiest fries, reheat them in an air fryer or 400°F (200°C) oven for 5–7 minutes.

Keep the salad and dip refrigerated and serve cold.

The garlic herb dip can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
