Chicken and freezer question

[RubyShivers]

i have bought a fresh chicken to roast on Friday
will it be ok in the fridge or should i freeze it and then defrost?

TIA

does it not have a date on it?
dh says freeze and defrost (he seems to know about these things) Personally I would have said fridge it, but what do I know?!

label says use today or freeze
seems a faff to not just whack it in the fridge
especially as i will probbaly forget to take it out of the freezer on friday and we will have frozen giblets

It will be fine in fridge until Friday - providing your fridge is cold enough.

Plus if you freeze it then take it out on Friday to defrost you need to make sure it is thoroughly defrosted. So you would need to freeze it today then defrost it tomorrow - does that make sense - naaa!

'tis going in the fridge!
