Does that reduce how long it keeps or degrade it in any way?

    If it is cooked, then it should be treated the same as cooked chicken, it’ll keep for a few days in the fride, longer in the freezer.

    You should not reuse it when cooking a new chicken though.

      Ok, I might do an A/B test and keep it with a piece of chicken in B and see how that compares after a few days

        Not sure why you got a downvote for that. The chicken will continue to absorb flavor from the sauce, and it’ll probably keep it a bit more moist as well

        You’re overthinking this.

        If it was cooked with the chicken then it’s fine for effectively as long the chicken is good for.

        After a few days either way your cooked leftover chicken is nearing its end of life regardless.
