Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Salsa Chicken expire?
Salsa chicken, when freshly cooked, has a maximum shelf life of 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator. Unopened pre-packed salsa chicken can be stored up until the 'Use By' date printed on the package. If it's appropriate to freeze salsa chicken, it can last up to 4 months in your freezer. Once defrosted, it should be eaten that day, and you should never refreeze any food that had been previously frozen.
How do you tell if Salsa Chicken is bad?
First, trust your nose. If the salsa chicken has an off-smell, it's probably gone bad. You also want to check for any changes in color. If it has acquired a grayish hue, it's likely spoiled. Finally, if you see any mold or sliminess, it's definitely not safe to eat.
Tips for storing Salsa Chicken to extend shelf life
• Always store salsa chicken in the refrigerator within two hours of cooking to prevent bacteria from developing. • Use a shallow container for quick and even cooling. • If you can't eat it right away, consider freezing it. For best results, separate into meal-sized portions before freezing. • When ready to eat, defrost it in the refrigerator rather than at room temperature to maintain its safety.
