Does cooked chicken last longer than beef?

* Refrigerator Storage: Cooked chicken and beef both last about 3-4 days in the refrigerator when properly stored. This is assuming the meat was cooked to a safe internal temperature (165°F for chicken, 145°F for beef) and is kept in an airtight container.

* Freezer Storage: Both cooked chicken and beef can be frozen for 2-3 months for the best quality.

Therefore, the answer is: It's about the same.

However, there are some factors to consider that might influence how long each lasts in your fridge:

* Chicken: Chicken is more prone to bacterial growth, especially if not cooked thoroughly.

* Beef: Beef is generally more dense and might have a slightly longer shelf life due to its composition.

In conclusion, while both have similar shelf lives, it's best to err on the side of caution and consume cooked chicken and beef within 3-4 days of cooking for the best quality and safety.
