The best way to store the chicken is by refrigerating or freezing it. To refrigerate, first allow your chicken to cool down and then place in an airtight container or wrap tightly with plastic wrap. The chicken will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To freeze, wrap chicken tightly with aluminum foil or place it in an airtight freezer-safe container. Frozen chicken can last up to 3 months before you need to discard it.
