Sport Question about chicken (Cooking and storing related)

Sport Fitness
Right,

I have just cooked my chicken breasts for tomorrow but I know I need to let them cool down before I can put them in the fridge...But I want to go to bed now because I am tired and it is 10:45 and i am up for work and stuff tomorrow!

Is there anything I can do? I don't fancy leaving them out of the fridge overnight (even if they would be sealed air tight) but it is also a bad idea to put them right into the fridge isn't it?

Will I just have to stay up for an hour more until they cool down??
 
there's nothing wrong with putting 'still hot' food into the fridge. the only downside is more condensation in the tupperware (or whatever you're storing them in) and that it'll suck the cold outta the fridge, so it might kick on sooner to recool the interior.

So, like I said, nothing wrong with going direct from grill/oven into a container and into the fridge.
 
Ah thankyou very much for clearing that up for me :-D I usually cook earlier so let it cool anyway but now I know in future and I can just whack it straight in if need be :-D
