Notes
Leftover grilled chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the chicken wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil for up to 3 months. For extra flavor, let the chicken marinate longer, up to 2 hours or even overnight. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to 165°F for safe eating.
