When I roast a chicken, we never finish it right away. How many days can I continue to safely use the leftovers?
The quick and safe answer is 3-4 days.
The longer answer is it depends upon how you're going to use the leftovers. For example, you'd be perfectly safe if you made stock out of the bird 4 days from now and then consumed the stock (or soup or pot pie) 3 or 4 days later.
