WIBU to cook a chicken a day out of date?

[hermyweasley]

Looks fine smells fine but I don't normally sniff my chickens so I THINK it smells like a normal chicken.

Thoughts?

Of course! Trust your nose. Make sure it's really cooked, though.

Definitely

No I wouldn't. But I'm really squeamish about meat and dates

You would be able to tell if it had gone bad. If it smells fine then it's fine.

I would with anything except chicken. I had camplyobacter from chicken once and I lost 12lbs in 5 days. It was utterly grim and took me a good month to get over completely and my digestion back to normal.

Ordinarily yes, wouldn’t right now as am pregnant but one day I’d be fine with in normal times. I wouldn’t go more than a day though and if it smelt funny it’d go straight in the bin.

Of course you can, yes.

Dates aren't an exact science and believe me, 'off' chicken is something you'd smell as soon as you opened the fridge.

I would.

He's in the oven- thanks!

I wouldn't but I'm odd about dates.
If it smells fine I'm sure it will be okay.

I do that a lot

Assuming you haven't got covid, then fine. I cooked some chicken that was bad because I couldn't smell it. Luckily the ready of the family could tell it was bad before we'd eaten too much of it.

You probably be fine but I am a stickler for dates and have binned sausages this morning that I realised had yesterday's date on, felt terrible doing it but I'm far to fretty!

It'll be fine - as long as you had it in the fridge.
I often buy things reduced in supermarkets and eat the next day, fish and chicken included - you'd have noticed it didn't smell right if it was off.

I would do it.

There is a definite smell if chicken is on the turn.

I would. Don’t even look at dates half the time, you’d know if it was off! Hell, I’ve had a few chickens that have a smelt a bit iffy even when they’re in date!
