Chicken Salad Pinwheels

Chicken Salad Pinwheels are a great appetizer to make for a good ole get together. Make them before so you’re not rushing the day of the party getting food together.

Can I make pinwheels the day before?

Yes. In fact, my recipe calls for chilling the chicken salad pinwheels in the fridge overnight for best results.

How long do pinwheels stay good?

These will last in the fridge, in an airtight container, for about 4 days considering what is in them. Some ingredients spoil quicker than others.

Can you freeze tortilla pinwheels?

You can freeze them. They will keep, however, they may lose some of their quality (texture/taste) if stored for too long. Store in an airtight container.
