What To Dip In Your Takis Chicken
This is totally up to you if you want a dip or not. Ranch or Blue cheese are two that I recommend giving a go. Or even some plain Greek yogurt to help tame down the spice. Feel free to use whatever sounds best.
Storing Leftover Takis Chicken
So if you happen to have leftovers go right ahead and store them in the fridge. They will store for up to three months. Then just reheat as you would like. It will lose some of the texture once it is chilled off.
To reheat you can warm them up in the microwave or for a crispy texture, go ahead and heat them up in the oven.
You can also freeze any of the chicken for later. Just cook as directed and then freeze for up to three months. Then toss in the oven straight from frozen if you would like.
