Chicken should be stored at a temperature outside of the temperature zone in which bacteria, that causes foodborne illness, grows quickly. The danger temperature zone is a range between 40°F and 140°F. Raw chicken can be stored in a refrigerator for several days. If it is not going to be used within the recommended time, it should be frozen to prevent it from perishing. Leftover cooked chicken should be wrapped tightly and refrigerated as soon as possible. Do not leave the chicken at room temperature for more than two hours. If cooked chicken is not going to be used within four days of cooking, it should be frozen.

Cooked chicken will stay edible under refrigeration for a couple of days, 3 tops, maybe 4, but you're refrigerator should be around 43 to 45 degrees. Make sure the chicken is well-wrapped too.

Cooked chicken that has been stored in the refridgerator will last for 3 to 4 days at most.

I wouldn't leave it sitting out any longer than an hour or 2, after that wrap it in plastic wrap or foil, and store it in the fridge. It should last a day or 2, it could last longer, but I personally avoid eating any leftovers that are older than 2 days.
Also once you've reheated it, don't put it back in the fridge because that will cause bacteria to grow.

To be on the safe side I would only keep it 5 days. That is if it kept in the fridge and was cooked completely. If you put it something really spicy like chilli maybe 8-9 days.

As long as the use by date. If you cook chicken on the same day as the use by date it should still be ok the next day, but smell it first!
The best indicator is your nose.

It depends if you keep it in fridge or freeze it. If you keep it in the fridge then about a week. If you freeze it then about a month
