Chicken - best before yesterday - can we eat it????

[littlemissbossy]

I've just discovered that the chicken (breast fillets) we're supposed to be having for dinner was best before/use by 18Jan. Do you think it would be ok to eat it??? it's been in the fridge since the weekend

[CountessDracula]

yes

if it smells ok will be fine

[expatinscotland]

Sure.

[expatinscotland]

Just remember to cook it first

[spykid]

take it out and smell it.
Should be ok unless it smells or goping green

[suzywong]

yes


do come back if you want to freeze it or thaw it, I live for these kinds of threads

[motherinferior]

Oh definitely. Go on.

[littlemissbossy]

Thanks ladies ... was hoping you'd say that it was ok - looks ok but I will do the smell test first.
BTW if we get food poisoning I'll kill you lot!

[oliveoil]

now I would say yes, but would then be sniffing it and pulling a face whilst eating it.

Dh never asks me anything along these lines anymore.

[daisy1999]

I'm a worrywart and would chuck it - sorry.
Mind you I sometimes through stuff out because it's eat before today
I think I need counselling

[Bozza]

I would. Just make sure it's well cooked but then I suppose you would do that anyway.

[littlemissbossy]

It smelt funny, so I've thrown it and it's salmonella-free sausages instead

[Misspiggy]

Well, I've just opened a pack of chicken breasts from Ocado with a use by date of tomorrow and they absolutely stank...bleuch!Guess what we're having instead - salmonella free sausages as well! V unusual for Ocado.
