What to do with all this fried chicken?

I ordered enough fried chicken takeaway last night to feed 5 people. I was supposed to have guests today with children who love the stuff, and I was going to heat it up in the airfryer for them (don't judge me, I'm a lazy host 😂). But they've now cancelled.

The chicken is in the fridge along with other food I bought in for the grownups. Can I freeze it do you think? Any ideas of what to do with it besides reheat and eat? I can peel off the coating and give some to the dog I suppose, and I can eat some for lunch today. Any other ideas? DH is vegetarian so no help. It cost £30 so it just feels like such a waste.

Yes you can freeze it.

For the non vegetarians, slice it up and use in sandwiches/wraps/pittas, or as a pizza topping, use in pasta... anywhere you'd use marinated chicken normally.

Yes I would also portion up and freeze.

Thanks both, those are some good ideas. I have 4 portions in the freezer now, will have a portion for lunch, and the dog and I even had some cold for breakfast (not as unpleasant as I had expected 😂).
