Can I still eat this defrosted chicken

[myhorriblehands]

I took it out the freezer either Thursday night or Friday night, it’s defrosted in the fridge and stayed in there the whole time, was going to use it tonight for a stir fry, will it still be okay as packets say to use within 24 hours of defrosting ?

No. And I give most food a go!

I would smell it. That will tell you everything.

it depends how quickly it was frozen too. For example if today was 1st and you bought chicken with use by date of the 5th and you froze it immediately, this would mean when you defrost it it is good for four more days.

if you froze it at the end of its fresh life then a few days defrosted will be too much. But bad chicken smells. You’ll know right away

It doesn’t smell at all

I’m surprised you haven’t killed yourself with food poisoning years ago going by this thread

I’ve never left it a few days before once I’ve defrosted something so I was unsure considering it had stayed at a constant temp once defrosted

I wouldn’t.

Just no

and 100% not if you’re cooking for anyone else

If it doesn't smell, I'd risk it.

I'm not sure that's how it works, I think after defrosting it needs using within a day or so.

Should be okay, just cook it well. I had a stir fry too x

Loads of foods I would but not chicken or pork .

Just you eating it, then fine, go ahead. If cooking for others forget it!!

If it smells ok and isn't slimy then I would

Just no!! Look up food safety guidelines online.

I am usually on the side of it'll be OK, eat it. But not with chicken. You don't mess with chicken.

I binned it on the end and used a fresh pack from the fridge, didn’t want to poison dh, I’d never hear the end of it 😁

Hallelujah
