Storage and Reheating Tips
Store leftover chicken and fries in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
To reheat the chicken, place it in a 375°F oven for 10–15 minutes until heated through and crispy again.
Reheat fries in the oven or air fryer for several minutes until crisp. Avoid microwaving the fries to maintain their texture.
The chicken can also be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
