Storage and Reheating Tips

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

Reheat the chicken in a 375°F oven or air fryer for 10–15 minutes until hot and crispy.

Fries can also be reheated in the oven or air fryer for several minutes to restore crispiness.

Fresh salad ingredients should be kept chilled and served cold. Avoid reheating the salad components.
