Enjoy your delicious crispy chicken sandwich for longer by following these expert storage tips. Proper refrigeration is key to maintaining its delightful crunch and savory flavors, ensuring a safe and satisfying meal every time.

Storage Time

3-4 days in the refrigerator, up to 1-2 months in the freezer for best quality.

Temperature

Store refrigerated at or below 4°C (40°F).

Freezing

To freeze your crispy chicken sandwich, it's best to separate the components if possible. Wrap the chicken patty tightly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil or a freezer-safe bag. Store the bun separately, ideally in a freezer bag. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating the chicken in an oven or air fryer to restore crispiness. The bun can be lightly toasted. Freezing may slightly affect the bun's texture.

Signs of Spoilage

• Offensive odor, often sour or "off" smelling.
• Slimy or sticky texture on the chicken or bun.
• Visible mold growth, especially on the bun or any condiments.
