Baking Chicken Pies Since 1983
Pies have been a staple on our menu for close to four decades now, and they are also our best-selling pastry. Our Chicken Pies are convenient, delicious and perfect for all ages.
But what about storing our Chicken Pies when you can't finish them on the day itself? Is there a correct way to do it? How long do DonChef's Chicken Pies last? Let's find out.
Storing Our Pies
It is important to store our Chicken Pies and Black Pepper Chicken Pies correctly, so that they stay fresh and safe to eat and, more importantly, keep their great taste. Chicken Pies should be stored in the refrigerator, where they keep for up to five days from purchase. There are a few things to keep in mind:
- Keep them covered. Leave them in our original packaging, the signature green Chicken Pie Kitchen & Don Signature Crab box, or if that's not available, use a covered container. This keeps them fresh and stops them drying out in the refrigerator. The same applies to our Chicken Shepherd's Pie.
- Eat them within five days. We bake all our pastries fresh in-house at our restaurant at 39 Tyrwhitt Road, so you get only the freshest bakes with each visit. After five days, the quality of the pie will start to decline and you might notice a difference in taste.
- Reheat them until piping hot. When reheating DonChef's Chicken Pies, make sure they are piping hot all the way through. This helps to kill any bacteria that may have formed while the pie was stored.
How Long Will Yours Keep?
Keep them covered in the fridge and eat them within five days of buying them.
Reheating from the Refrigerator
We've experimented and found that these settings work best:
Oven
150°C to 180°C20 to 30 minutes
Heat our pies at around 150°C to 180°C for 20 to 30 minutes. The low heat and slightly longer heating time make sure that even the core is heated through.
Microwave, Then Air Fryer
1 to 1.5 minutesthen 2 to 3 minutes
Microwave the pie for 1 to 1.5 minutes to warm its core, then place it in your air fryer for 2 to 3 minutes to get our signature crust back in tip-top shape.
Before You Eat
Piping hotall the way through
Make sure the pie is piping hot all the way through, from the crust to the core.
Storing Chicken Pies overnight is possible with proper planning, execution and reheating. By following these simple storage and reheating tips, you can enjoy DonChef's fresh and delicious Chicken Pies for days to come.
