Can I still make soup from this chicken?

[ReanimatedSGB]

Cooked it on Sunday, made stew with some more of the meat on Monday and it's been in the fridge ever since. Is it still going to be safe to make a pot of stock with the remnants?

Yeah I would

I wouldn't after 3 days.

At 4 days old I would t risk it.

Yes of course it is. The stock will be boiled and you can always cook it a little longer to be sure. Worst that will happen is the stock doesn't taste ok in which case don't use it but I think that is unlikely.

FYI I freeze chicken bones for when I have time to make stock. Works fine.

I wouldn't.

I haven't got the time to have the shits, so I wouldn't.

If you're planning on being at home and will be able to get to a toilet, you could do.

I’m really relaxed about these things but I wouldn’t use a chicken after 4 days.

I wouldn't either. Day 3, yes. But no longer. It's not worth risking illness for the sake of a bit of stock.

I would because you are boiling it which will kill the bacteria.

Nope please dont, three days it will last for. You might be fine you might not. If you are cooking for children, pregnant women or elderly people then it's even more dangerous.

i'd give it a sniff and decide from that. I'm pregnant!

I would, you're going to be boiling it for hours. That's how you sterilise things anyway,

I wouldn't use any of the meat stripped off the carcass though. And obviously not if it's already stinking out your fridge.

I would... But I'm towards the lax end of the food hygiene spectrum!

No I wouldn’t

Yes, absolutely!

No, 3 days only. I used to be really lax until I got pregnant and developed the ability to sniff out food going off like a blood hound. DH wouldn't listen to me about some cooked veg that I knew was off, ate it anyway and had the shits for days.
