As above really, had half yesterday in a curry and the rest is in the fridge. Will it be OK to eat on a sandwich for lunch tomorrow?
Thanks in advance.

Provided you stuck it in the fridge promptly, yes. I do this frequently with cooked chickens as they are a bit too big to finish.

I assume, was purchased from the hot food counter?

Test it on your butler first. wink

Well I had the chicken yesterday... and I think I've lived to tell the tale so all seems good!

Ours frequently last 4-5 days & don't do us any harm!

Dunno about ready cooked but we'll quite often roast one at a weekend and eat in it sandwiches all week. Keeps for a fair while in the fridge.
