Ordered a big pack of chicken fillets at the start of December but ended up freezing them. Date on them was 7th Dec but froze on the 5th. Decided to use them for xmas dinner as the family want stuffed chicken wrapped in bacon instead of Turkey. As I don't have a huge freezer MIL had them in her freezer and took them out for me on Monday night to defrost. They're fully defrosted now BUT by the time I cook them they'll be fully defrosted for 24 hours, possibly 26 hours. Considering they were dated 7th should I just chuck them and go with the ham I have or cook them tomorrow (when almost 24 hours defrosted) or cook them tonight and reheat tomorrow.
I am a shit cook and would usually ring my Mum and ask her what to do but she died this year and it's times like this when I realise how often I needed her advice.
