How long can chicken breasts stay in a fridge

[Jesus Saves]

and still be good?

A week?

[Catherine Vincent]

1. To me only a couple of days.

[Jesus Saves]

2. seriously?

they look fine, smell fine...

[JimmyJazz]

3. no - not a week.

Only a couple of days - but check the sell by date - I wouldn't go two or three days past that.

[progmom]

5. I won't even go one day past that.

But I am super freaky about expiration dates.

[Cobalt Violet]

4. Depends on the temp in the fridge.

But I'm a vegetarian so I can't give you specifics.

6. two days

if it's longer, freeze them

[Abelman]

7. Freeze 'em

Chicken breasts are easy to thaw if frozen.

[Jesus Saves]

9. I had them frozen

Unfroze them - but haven't gotten around to cooking them yet/

[MissMillie]

8. depends on whether or not they had been frozen

after thawing, 48 hours only.

[Jesus Saves]

11. they were frozen

I unthawd they about a week ago.

They look fine.

[MissMillie]

15. unthawed = frozen

think about it

[DS1]

10. I've gone 5-7 days without a problem

but then, I make sure to cook it ~real~ good :shrug:

That, and I have a stomach of steel, I can go to restaurants that served something which made everyone else throw-up/shit themselves and be ~fine~ :D

[JimmyJazz]

12. And you are bragging about this because?

:shrug:

[DS1]

16. Not so much bragging as disagreeing with food paranoia

[madrchsod]

13. if you have to ask the question

throw them out-lot cheaper than food poisoning

[Jesus Saves]

14. that's what I'm doing

just took down more to thaw out...I guess that's dinner tomorrow, as for tonight...I don't know yet.

17. i uh...work in a local meat department

and as long as it doesn't smell bad (think bad eggs) and you cook it right it'll be fine
