To eat chicken...

[rabbitsdontlayeggs]

... that's a day out of date?

Chicken wings from Sainsbury's in bourbon BBQ sauce. Not ready to eat, need cooking. Use by date is yesterday, I'm annoyed I didn't bloody check I only bought them in the morning!

They smell fine. I really want them!

Not normally someone who worries about dates (I normally rely on the sniff test for things like milk etc apart from when I was pregnant, then I was more careful) but am a bit wary about chicken.

Would you?

Probably not with chicken, sorry.

I'd assume with chicken you'd smell if it was rank. If it smells ok I'd have it.

If they smell fine i would go for it

Not smelling bad does not mean that they're safe to eat. There's a reason that the sniff test isn't used in labs... It's completely unreliable.

If you've been keeping it in the freezer it should be fine, in the fridge then give it a sniff first.

Haven't frozen at all, bought yesterday morning and they went straight in the fridge.

I should imagine they're quite cautious with use by dates, so were I not a vegetarian I would.

I would and have done in similar circumstances

You're cooking it, make sure it's absolutely rostering hot for a good few minutes more than usual, then enjoy it.

I would have no issue with eating them at all.

of course eat them one day out of date if fine

I would eat them without a second thought .

I wouldn’t chance it with chicken if it was me.

You know if chickens off while it’s cooking if not when raw. It smells really really bad.

Of course I'd eat them, what difference does a day make? There will be plenty of safety stuff built into the use by date, however I prefer to use my nose!

Of course you can! Use by dates really are a guideline they'd expect people to be use common sense

I ate them. They were delicious! I will come back and update you if I've poisoned myself so you sensible people who said no can say you told me so.

They were really yummy though 🐷

Hope you're ok!

I read your title as "To eat Children"

Don't do it OP. It is wrong and evil. If you are really that hungry, you need to rethink your diet.

Hope that helps.

No children were consumed in the making of this post. Just chicken, and only their wings!

Does chicken miraculously go off on the stroke of midnight of the use by date?
