Storage Time

3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 1 month if frozen (though texture may change).

Temperature

Store refrigerated chicken salad at or below 4°C (40°F) to ensure maximum food safety.

Freezing

Homemade chicken salad can be frozen, but be aware that the texture of the mayonnaise-based dressing may change upon thawing, becoming more watery. For best results, freeze in an airtight container or heavy-duty freezer bag, removing as much air as possible. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator for optimal safety and quality. Stir well after thawing to reincorporate any separated liquid.

Signs of Spoilage

A sour or off smell, distinct from the usual savory aroma.
A slimy or sticky texture on the chicken or dressing.
