Chicken dilemma

[SpamChaudFroid]

Just one breast, I took it out to defrost on Tuesday. I'm dithering...

I wouldn't.

Are you mad?!?! Under NO circumstances should you steam it while it up your vagina!

Chuck it in the rubbish. You'll get sick if you defrosted it and didn't cook/eat it on the same day.

I've done this before and it's been totally fine.

You're supposed to eat within 24 hours once defrosted

I defrost chicken a day in advance every single time I defrost it. Never had food poisoning. Give it a smell, off chicken is VERY pungent.

It's not a day in advance though. It was taken out 3 days ago

If it was fresh, and way off its bbe date before going into the freezer, and has been in the fridge since tuesday, I'd eat it, assuming it smelt right.
If it was close to its best before date, or has been defrosting on the side, I'd bin it.

If it doesn't smell I'd cook it. Just make sure it's cooked through.

If it smells fine I would cook it and eat it. Provided it is definitely piping hot though.

Im another who would do the smell test - if it doesn't smell off then I'd cook and eat it (& have done many times and never got food poisoning).

Oh no, reasoned arguments on both sides, I was hoping for a unanimous "bin that fucker". Will try sniff test, (I have almost no sense of smell though 😂)

It smells fine! I do have a strong stomach, I grew up on food that would sometimes be festering and simmering for days 😂

If it's been in the fridge and doesn't smell bad, I'd go for it.
