Enjoy delicious, tender slow cooker BBQ chicken for days! Properly stored, this flavorful dish remains a safe and satisfying meal option. Learn the best practices for keeping your BBQ chicken fresh and delicious.

Storage Time

3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 2–3 months in the freezer for optimal quality.

Temperature

Store refrigerated cooked chicken at or below 4°C (40°F). For freezing, maintain a consistent freezer temperature of -18°C (0°F).

Freezing

Allow slow cooker BBQ chicken to cool completely before portioning into airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags. Remove as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator for best results, or use the defrost setting on your microwave. While freezing is safe, the texture of the chicken may become slightly softer upon thawing.

Signs of Spoilage

A sour or off odor, distinct from the usual smoky BBQ aroma.
A slimy or sticky texture on the surface of the chicken.
Visible mold growth or discoloration, such as greenish or grayish patches.
