Enjoy your favorite McDonald's Chicken McNuggets safely by understanding proper storage. These delicious, breaded chicken pieces are best consumed fresh, but can be stored for a short period to minimize food waste.

Storage Time

2–3 days in the refrigerator, up to 1–2 months in the freezer for best quality.

Temperature

Keep refrigerated at or below 4°C (40°F). For freezing, maintain a consistent freezer temperature of -18°C (0°F).

Freezing

To freeze leftover Chicken McNuggets, allow them to cool completely. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to an airtight freezer bag or container to prevent freezer burn. When ready to reheat, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or use the defrost setting on your microwave. Reheating in an oven or air fryer is recommended for optimal crispiness.

Signs of Spoilage

Unpleasant, sour, or ammonia-like odor emanating from the nuggets.
Slimy or sticky texture on the surface of the breading or chicken.
