When does Balsamic Chicken expire?

Accepted Answer

Balsamic chicken, whether home-cooked or store-bought, should be consumed within 3-4 days if stored in the refrigerator. If unopened and frozen, it can last up to 3 months. Ensure it's packaged air-tight to prevent freezer burn. Always double-check the printed date on store-bought packages.
