Storing Baked Chicken

This honey-baked chicken also stores well. Let the chicken cool completely before putting it in airtight containers or Ziploc bags. When ready to serve, this meal will reheat quickly and easily!

Refrigerate: Place any leftover chicken in a ziplock bag or other airtight container and refrigerate for 2–3 days.

Freeze: To store in the freezer, place the chicken pieces in a ziplock bag. Place the bags flat in the freezer. It can be stored there for a month or more. When you’re ready to reheat the chicken, place it in the refrigerator overnight to thaw it properly.

Reheat: Reheat in the air fryer, oven, or microwave until thoroughly heated.

    This is one of the best baked chicken recipes I have ever tried. Made this with my Niece’s family and everyone loved it. Including the infant. We used drumsticks and wings. Only thing we added was 2 tablespoons of garlic. The kids weren’t fans of spice but didn’t even know there was curry in the sauce until I told them. Not all of the chicken was dishes up, but there were no left overs. Excellent recipe.
