Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover chicken, potatoes, and salad separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

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

Keep the salad and dressing separate for maximum freshness.

The roasted potatoes can be reheated in an air fryer to restore crispness.

Cooked chicken can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
