Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Chicken Spaghetti expire?
Chicken spaghetti, when freshly cooked, can last for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator. If you put it in the freezer, it can last up to 2 to 3 months. It should be noted that these timelines are mostly for taste and texture quality as freezing food can stop bacterial growth and prevent spoilage for much longer.
How do you tell if Chicken Spaghetti is bad?
It's easy to tell if your chicken spaghetti has gone bad. You can first do a visual inspection; if you see any mold or bacterial growth, that's a sign of spoilage. You can also give it a sniff. Any sour or off-putting smell is a major red flag. Lastly, if you've had it for more than 4 days in the fridge or longer than 3 months in the freezer, it's a good idea to throw it out to avoid any potential food poisoning.
Tips for storing Chicken Spaghetti to extend shelf life
• Always refrigerate within two hours of cooking. • Store in an airtight container to prevent cross-contamination with other foods in your fridge. • If freezing, wrap it well to prevent freezer burn. This could be in a well-sealed container, or in a sealable freezer bag with the excess air squeezed out. • Always defrost in the refrigerator to avoid bacterial growth that can happen during room-temperature thawing. It usually takes a day or two to fully thaw. • If you want to extend the fridge shelf life, you can separate the dish into smaller portions before storing. That way, you only need to heat what you will eat.
