Notes
To store leftover chipotle chicken, first let the chicken cool down. Then, place it in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the chicken in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to 4 months.
To reheat chipotle chicken leftovers in an air fryer, preheat it to 350°F. Place the chicken in the basket, making sure they're not overlapping, and heat for 4-7 minutes until thoroughly warm. Check the warmth, and once heated, your chicken is ready to enjoy!
