Where to store cooked chicken?

If you are looking for a cool, dry and inappropriate place to store your recently cooked chicken leftovers or just because the myth that refrigerating hot food messes with its taste persists in your mind- look no further, Mon Cheri! We got you covered with quick tips on how to keep bacteria’s deadly game away without jeopardizing flavor.

The Food Pyramid

Back in high school, we all learned about the mighty food pyramid, and although most of us failed miserably sticking to it ever since, what struck us hard is the very base of it. That big-ass foundation signifies none other than fruits and vegetables – this fact leads me here; all edible stuff can relate! So why not put this knowledge into practice? Lettuce spin some ideas!

A Tupperware Trick Up Your Sleeve

Store those drums or thighs within two hours in an air-sealed tupperware container layered on top with sliced lemons; be sure to cover them completely. Not things above certainty but cling wrap will also do – deal sealers par excellence afterall.

Pro-tip: Just make sure they don’t touch each other as internal temperatures of raw meat differ from one cut to another.

### Stack Smartness

Sealable bags are bae when making up for lost space seems like imagination taking over reality preventing moisture accumulation while being able comfortably stack them up against one another enabling overflow yet smart storage solutions.

## Chill’em Out
I am aware that there’s something inherently lazy about keeping things orderly in my fridge coz let’s face it who has time for expiration dates until the vomit-worthy smell hits? These following ways will have more structure around your kitchen:

### Fridge Shelf Positioning.

Salami can survive wherever chills may come their way but fresh-off-the-grill poultry isn’t one of them. Place it on the bottom shelf without using any other ingredient for toppings or support; if some juice flows out, you don’t want guests thinking yours was an interior designing accident.

#### The Freezer Case

If going away is coming up and you are preparing a weekend freezer meal cushion like Santa Claus – here’s where practicality collides with logic: use aluminum foil to keep safe from freezer burn. Once its cooled place it in the shallow snuggles placed between frozen water bottles so your food remains crisp within suitable timings.

It’s a Wrap!

Don’t just wrap those left-around beauties that fill our tables during festive occasions thinking that covering chicken basics will rob off flavors- truss me, the taste lasts always!

Over-Wrap Masterpiece

Wrap cooked chicken tightly with wax paper keeping enough space around borders( bonus-points for colored ones) while folding each end over several times before sealing once more using tape/cooker sealant- this way heavenly aromas travel less distance than binoculars covering every angle preventing probability of bacteria growth.

Aluminum Foil Factor

I know that compact size popping out of a drawer can be deceiving at times considering it as an imposter but as far as freshness and hygiene are concerned, no better contender has been born yet – trust me on this! After wrapping sliced cheese or mixed delights in equally cut uniform sizes ( Hello OCD comrades), roll up air-tight & place them carefully getting themselves accustomed to newly created accommodation inside fridge/freezers forever fresh till eternity arrives.

The Bottom Line:
Next time you cook and feel confused about what genius storage method to choose, remember these main things:

  1. Store cooked chicken after two hours max.
  2. Keep from either being exposed directly to oxygen & UV light.
  3. Freeze when leaving soon after cooking.
  4. Stack them up yet smartly in sealable bags or Tupperware.
  5. Lastly, wrap it right; tight and secure within refrigeration limits.

So just remember the age-old fact that nothing stays for long – store your chicken wise & secure because raw meat is not a pretty sight with uninvited plus-ones having their way with creating chaos beginning with themselves but ending on our plates – Bon appetite!
