Defrosted chicken

Christ, this is boring. Sorry.

I got a pack of chicken thighs out of the freezer last night, put them in the fridge to cook this eve for dinner.

Only Dh announces that he’s got a voucher from work for takeaway that needs to used today.

Do you reckon the chicken will be ok in the fridge
For tomorrow? Or do I need to cook the chicken curry tonight and leave that in the fridge for tomorrow?

If I defrost chicken, I ensure I eat it by day 3. I've not died yet.

Did you freeze them as soon as you got them or had they been in the fridge for a few days first?

If they’ve been in the fridge defrosting the whole time they’ll be fine

I’d be tempted to cook it and then put the meal in the fridge. But I wouldn’t fret if it was the other way around.

I always cook any meat on the day it's thawed. It will last 2-3 days in the fridge once cooked.
I would not risk leaving it in there raw.

@TheFlis12345 frozen the day I bought them.

I'd leave it raw for up to 2 days in my fridge. I do that a lot

In that case, they should definitely be fine to leave until tomorrow and cook then.
