How long is cooked chicken good for?

According to USDA guidelines, cooked chicken can last for 3-4 days in the refrigerator if kept at 40°F or below. Refrigeration slows down bacterial growth but doesn't completely stop it, so it's best to consume it within this timeframe to ensure safety.

If you want to store cooked chicken for a longer time, you can freeze it. Cooked chicken can be frozen for 2-6 months. However, it's important to properly package and seal it to prevent freezer burn and maintain the quality of the chicken. Freezing allows you to extend the shelf life of cooked chicken beyond the 3-4 day limit in the refrigerator.
