How long can a piece of boneless, skinless chicken stay safe and healthy to eat after you've bbq/cooked it?

Answer 1

I would save it for the next days lunch, for a salad or something! No it won't go bad in the fridge...
I would keep it for a couple days(2-3) but probably no longer than that...if it is in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

Answer 2

Having it the next day at lunch or dinner is fine, even the day after that. But then if you still havn't eaten it..time to throw it out.
JUst make sure when you've cooked the chicken on bbq or oven..wrap in tinfoil or put when cool in a ziplock baggie, or better yet, a plastic container that stores food with a lid..and put in fridge.

Leftover chicken off bbq is awsome over a tossed ceasar salad or green salad, it's great as an opened face sandwich-slice up the chicken put over slice of bread, make some gravy and pour over...add mash potatoes and veggies.
Chicken sliced up is also good on flatbread(fajita wraps), add some lettuce, red or green peppers, perhaps some Ranch salad dressing drizzled over it, wrap it up and Mmmm*

Answer 3

If you cook it properly and keep it in the fridge- it should be fine for 2-3 days, just like any other cooked food. Store it properly- in a sealed container to keep microbes out.

Answer 4

It should stay good for 3-4 days in the fridge.

Answer 5

It will be fine the next day but i wouldn't leave it much longer than that. i had food poisoning off bad chicken and i felt like i was dying.

Answer 6

I've had one for about 3 days one time. It was fine.
