Is it ok to just cut the smelly piece off the chicken and cook the rest?

[mmmitsdelicious]

Im just about to put a chicken in to roast best before date is today.
One of the wings looks a fuuny colour and smells.
Ive cut the wing off and washed the rest of the chicken and it seems ok.
Is it ok to cook it?
Normally I might not but we're skint at the moment and we got a chicken with the intention of getting 3 meals out of it.
Don't want to poison anyone though!

no

please dispose of the whole carcase

I am so sorry

take it back to where you bought it?

Is it from a supermarket? If so, then take it back. They will refund/replace.

I really wouldn't. HOwever - if you still have the packaging - and can fish the smelly bit out of the bin - take it back to where you bought it from and demand a replacement as it went off before the BBD.

I wouldn't

It's from Tesco but can't get there as it's miles away, I don't drive and DP is working

Depends on how risk averse you are.

You could cook it and see if it still smells / tastes off.

I've cooked chickens "on the edge" before.

But funny colour isn't good.

No way. No point making three meals if you'll all be too sick to eat them!

i've eaten chicken that smells weird just cook it then see ob if it smells when cooked leave it

I wouldn't - I had to throw some 'new' chicken away as it is just not worth risking it.

I would e-mail customer services or ring them .... perhaps they would refund at least??

TBH it has put me right off, I can't eat it now. So I can't really feed it to DC's either can I?
I wonder if customer services have an email and I could tell them and ask for voucher to refund?
It worth a try.

I've just emailed them.

I think phoning the store rather than emailing is more likely to get results tbh.

put the smelly bit in the freezer (well-wrapped, of course) until you can get there, if they need you to take it back for a refund and you can't get there today.

Chicken is one of the worst foods for food poisoning. Only serve it to your children if you want to poison them.

Tesco poultry is rank and have a poor reputation re quality and quality control as a lot comes from abroad.

normally im not too fussed about stuff

but even I wouldnt eat that

NO NO NO NO NO

Ive had a phone call from them. They appologised and are sending me a refund via a gift card thingy.
Have only just seen your message Shiney. I'm not very good when it comes to things like this. I'm just happy with a refund - wish i was brave and had asked them for a complimentary bottle of wine

Fuck NO !

Oh sorry - you havn't.
