No foil, what can I use to cover chicken?

[Mog09]

Just cooked a huge roast chicken with a view to leftovers lasting the week but we’ve run out of foil!! What can I use instead please? No cling film either 😣

Will it fit in a sandwich bag or bread. Bag?

Greaseproof paper?

Baking/ parchment paper will do the job, if you have it.

Tupperware, sandwich bag

Take the chicken off the bones and put it in tupperware if you have it.
Or do you have a large bowl you could use to cover it?

Bowl/pasta bowl with a plate on top.

Remove chicken from bones and store in a lidded Pyrex or casserole dish in the fridge. I always do this anyway, don't use foil etc.

A clean tea towel.

Put the whole plate in a plastic carrier bag. That's what I often do.

Yeh clean tea towel surely is ok? In the fridge? But tbh I’d strip it asap and store the various elements in different plastic boxes.

Casserole dish?

It doesn't need need to be covered. Foil won't achieve anything anyway, as it isn't air tight.

Thanks everyone I was going to carve the rest tomorrow as I’ve had some wine and the carving knife is in the dishwasher! Will try a tea towel or some baking parchment.

Deep mixing bowl to fit over the top.
