Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, microwave it until warmed through or heat gently on the stovetop. You can freeze the chicken for up to three months; thaw completely before reheating. For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the cola mixture for an hour before cooking.
