Can you keep cooked chicken in the marinated juices you cooked it in? - eviltoast

Does that reduce how long it keeps or degrade it in any way?

      If it is cooked, then it should be treated the same as cooked chicken, it’ll keep for a few days in the fride, longer in the freezer.

      You should not reuse it when cooking a new chicken though.

        Ok, I might do an A/B test and keep it with a piece of chicken in B and see how that compares after a few days

          You’re overthinking this.

          If it was cooked with the chicken then it’s fine for effectively as long the chicken is good for.

          After a few days either way your cooked leftover chicken is nearing its end of life regardless.

          Not sure why you got a downvote for that. The chicken will continue to absorb flavor from the sauce, and it’ll probably keep it a bit more moist as well
