To keep chicken safe, refrigerate it as soon as possible—ideally within 2 hours of cooking. In warm conditions, it’s best to refrigerate even sooner to limit bacterial growth. Quick cooling is key to maintaining safety.
Use shallow, airtight containers to store chicken so it cools evenly. This prevents bacteria from multiplying in areas that stay warm longer. Proper storage helps maintain both safety and quality.
Leftover chicken can be kept in the refrigerator for 3–4 days. If you want to store it longer, freezing is a safe option, preserving it for several weeks without compromising food safety.
When reheating, make sure the chicken is steaming hot throughout. This kills most bacteria, though it won’t remove any toxins that may have already formed. Always handle leftovers carefully to avoid contamination.
