Question: how long do you have to wait to put cooked chicken in the fridge?
Answer: After cooking, allow the chicken to cool, and within two hours, wrap it well, then place it on the top shelf of your fridge. Keep cooked chicken away from raw meat and use it up within two days. You can eat it cold in sandwiches or salads or reheat until piping hot – maybe in a curry, casserole or soup.
