Notes
Storage and Reheating
Refrigerate either wrapped or in a sealed container for up to 3 days. If well wrapped, these will freeze well. Use within 3 months. To reheat, allow frozen chicken to thaw in the refrigerator overnight. I prefer reheating in my airfryer at 400°F for a few minutes (4-5 minutes usually works). Watch closely to not overcook.Nutrition (I am not a nutritionist. These are estimates only)
