Storing Cooked Chicken

Steamed or grilled chicken is excellent for summertime. It can be diced or sliced and used in sandwiches, salads and side dishes without heating up the kitchen. Cooked chicken will keep for about three days in the refrigerator.

"Use By" and Sell By" Dates

Check the expiration date on chicken before you purchase it. If there is only a day or two before the expiration date, you might want to select another package. Also, if you are purchasing a whole chicken and the bag looks like it is expanded with air, even if the expiration date indicates it should be good, don’t buy that chicken.
