This crack chicken dip is very convenient to store. You can store the leftover dip in an air-tight container. Make sure it is completely cool before you refrigerate it. It will last for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. You can reheat it either in the microwave or in the oven until it is warm and bubbly again.
Can you freeze crack chicken dip?
Most people find it very convenient to freeze this dip. However, I don’t recommend freezing it. That’s because the dip has a high-fat content that comes from cheese. If you freeze it, defrosting will ruin the texture of the dip. So, because it is very easy to make, I recommend you make it fresh every time.
