I never leave raw meat in the fridge for more than 24 hours.  

The chicken will start to get an order on the second day if uncooked.

Answer 3

both... usually a raw chicken will go bad within a few days maybe a week

Answer 4

always go by the use or freeze by date. I would cook within 2 days of defrosting and do not eat more than 2 days after cooking.  chicken is hard because it tends to have bacteria smell to it anyway.  But when in doubt, throw it out.

Answer 5

about a week if it is in decent storage.

Answer 6

both. really bad smell and it won't look good. check the date on the packaging.

Answer 7

A week is too long. Depending on the temperature your fridge is set at, bacteria begins to breed in the chicken as soon as it is exposed to temperatures above freezing, and more rapidly the warmer the temperature. The chicken will begin to smell like rot, like death, very noxous and disturbing smell. It's subtle at first, so breath deep when you smell it, and if the chicken has any rotten odor, you know it's bad.

Answer 8

i dont know, but raw chicken is not something to mess with.

salmonella.

Answer 9

2 days - a week.

Answer 10

It will stay until it gets cold, then it will want out! lol  xox

Answer 11

Google that exact question and Im sure you will get your answer.

Answer 12

Generally it will start to smell funky.

If it's been more than a week throw it out because your system is not "climatized" to the bacteria.

Anywhere else in the world (as in no refrigeration) they'd coat it with curry to cover the rancid smell and cook it anyway.

Answer 13

If it's more than 3 days, I am generally too scared to eat it..  

Answer 14

With chicken or turkey 3 days max
