I defrosted raw chicken breasts last night and cooked them to make chicken curry with them. I had chicken curry for dinner last night. There was some left over, so I put it in the fridge. Is it safe to reheat in the microwave and eat it tonight?

Yes

I don't think how the raw meat was stored has any relevance to how long the cooked meat will last. So, overnight in the fridge, cooked - ok

Yes. If it’s been frozen raw, then defrosted and cooked it’s fine to reheat once. You could also freeze the curry.

Yes provided reheated to 74oC.

Yes, obviously make sure it's properly heated through as you should do with any meat products but you will be fine.

Yes as long as it’s hot all the way through

It's fine

Thank you, I thought that but when I went to put it in the microwave I suddenly panicked so thought I'd check! Eating it now Smile

I was told you can reheat once from frozen, once from cooked
