Leftover chicken should be cooled quickly and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator within two hours of cooking. It's best to consume it within 3-4 days to prevent bacterial growth. To freeze cooked chicken, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or foil, then place it in a freezer bag; use within 2-6 months for optimal quality.
