The best way is to cool it FAST. This will insure no bacteria can form. A icewater bath is the best way to cool hot food. Put the food in a sealed container and then put the container in a larger container that you can half fill with ice and water to cool the food down fast.

∙ 14y agoNO. let it cool a bit . put in shallow dish to let a lot of air get to it. Then cover it put in fridge . If its still a little hot it will be ok. Plac eit when the heat rising will not heat up other items in fridge. This is oK for the home cook. Not Professionals.

After I fry my chicken...I cool it on a wire rack with newspaper underneath the rack to wick away grease. Whatever is left over, or if I'm not eating till much later, I do as KFC does...a disposable paper paint bucket from the hardware store is the perfect vessel, and just cover with plastic wrap and put in the fridge.

How long is chicken good if refrigerated?
Cooked chicken could be good up to 4 days. Raw chicken is best used within 1 or 2 days. You should store the chicken in the coldest part of the refrigerator for best shelf life or put it in freezer if not used within that time frame.Thawed chicken should be cooked as soon as possible. If not using the chicken immediately, store in the refrigerator and use within 24 hours of thawing. Thaw frozen chicken using one of three methods: in the refrigerator; in a cold water bath, changing the water every 30 minutes; or in the microwave. If using one of the last two quick-thaw methods, cook the chicken immediately. NEVER thaw chicken at room temperature. USDA recommends 1-2 days of refrigerated storage (40°F).Depending upon the packaging of the chicken, how it was handled in-transit, and the temperature in the refrigerator, the chicken could last longer. For example, some refrigerators have a special meat storage drawer where the temperature is just under 32°F which will allow more shelf life.Uncooked fresh chicken: less than 2-4 days in sealed packageCooked chicken: less than 5 days in sealed bag or Tupperware
