Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10–15 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave in short intervals, spooning extra sauce over the chicken to keep it moist. For longer storage, freeze for up to 2 months and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
