How should leftovers be stored?
Remaining food can be stored in the fridge for up to three days if it is covered. You can freeze them for up to three months as well. Reheating these in the air fryer is not recommended since they will become very dry. I recommend either warming the cooked chicken pieces completely in the oven or putting them in a sealed foil packet with a little water or chicken stock. I have also added 1 tablespoon of butter to a large skillet and added the cooked chicken bites to it and heated over medium until warmed through, stirring occasionally.
