Realizing whether chicken and waffles has spoiled is not an arduous task. If the chicken develops a slimy texture, or both the chicken and waffles start smelling sour, off or slightly sweet, then it's time to discard them. In addition, if the chicken changes color and turns gray or greenish, it has likely gone bad.
Tips for storing Chicken and Waffles to extend shelf life
• Store the chicken and waffles separately. The chicken needs to be refrigerated or frozen, while waffles can stay at room temperature if they haven't been served with syrup or butter.
• When refrigerating, use airtight containers to keep the food fresh for longer.
• If freezing, wrap the chicken and waffles individually in aluminum foil and then put them in zip-top freezer bags. Make sure to remove as much air as possible before sealing.
• Have a container of baking soda in your refrigerator to absorb any potential unpleasant smells.
