As the thread title says, I have some chicken drumsticks bought and delivered on Sunday. It's now Friday and the chicken has been in the fridge since.

It smelled a little bad and so I washed each drumstick carefully with hot water. It still smells a little funky but it's a faint odor.

I'm hungry for chicken, and I'm on 14 day quarantine at home after recently arriving back in the country. So If I have to dump this chicken that means I'll have to order some more, which won't get delivered today, which means I'll go to bed tonight without having eaten some chicken.

I hope you all quite understand the gravity of the predicament I find myself in.

When in doubt, throw it out.

Sunday --> Friday is a big gap, especially for something you had delivered.

Thanks for the advice. It's gonna suck, but I think I'm leaning this way.

I just recovered from a bad case of food poisoning while outside the country a few weeks back. Don't wanna have to go through that again.

If food stinks, it's bad. Bad food smells bad for a reason.

That seals it then.

In the bin you go chicken.

We could have had something special together, but you went and soiled yourself.

Why are you even posting this if it smells bad especially after a episode of food poisoning.
Never leave raw meat in the fridge for more than a couple of days unless it’s marinating .
Rule of thumb always freeze it and take it out the day before using to defrost in the refrigerator.

Don't wash chicken in hot water. Pro tip

 

[Goro Majima]

The smell of meat never lies. Fresh meat should have a very faint and benign odor if any at all. Like you typically have to get your nose pretty close to smell it.

Shouldn't be washing chicken in general.

Never heard this before?

Even if you're just about to cook it?

If your chicken fell on the floor. Sure. Wash it. Otherwise you're just spreading bacteria all over your kitchen sink. Whatever bacteria is on the chicken will be taken care of during the cooking process.

 

[kiunchbb]

You can tell by smell and taste, just make sure you cooked it completely.

 

[triplestation]

you got yourself a situation right there

 

[bucyou]

time to get a $30 italian meal, that chicken is bad

 

[dave_d]

If you've heard that thing about people making food like this edible via spices, that was nonsense. Back then it would make you sick just like now.

Wish I could find a gif of Frank Costanza smacking the spices into the meat, but this will have to do.

 

[poppabk]

You washed the chicken splashing salmonella and shit all over the place. You may as well cook the chicken and eat it now, the worst is already behind you.

 

[AJUMP23]

It looks fine, but if it smells “fowl” throw it out.

 

[Richard Packer]

That can be solved with some broth and potatoes. Maybe a carrot or two too.

 

[008]

I would’ve cooked it and killed it 3 times over.

 

[Sidney Prescott]

You would never catch me eating four day old chicken. I don't mess around with that shit.

 

[nush]

It smelled a little bad

Yeah, nope. I've had raw chicken in the fridge started to smell after 2 days. When it comes to meat, if in doubt throw it out.

 

[BigBooper]

No, really, dont.

 

[DESTROYA]

What does shoving potatoes and a couple of carrots up your ass have anything to do with this question?

 

[Mossybrew]

As others have said, the nose knows. Chicken has a distinct smell once it has turned.

NEVER fuck with chicken. If you're uncertain just don't even bother, it's not worth the risk. Eat gone off pork, beef or whatever else it's a trip to the bathroom and maybe a bucket but you fuck with chicken, including the frozen stuff and you fuck up, you're in for hospital levels of sickness where you'll need a drip because of deathly levels of dehydration or break a rib from the constant vomiting. Seen it happen to two people in my time on Earth and I've never fucked with chicken. I fact, just to be safe put a big sign up in your kitchen that reads "DON'T FUCK WITH CHICKEN" or ban chicken from our diet entirely.

Also, eggs. Wash them and your hands before you crack them and don't expect some fucker to have done it for you prior. Fuck that chicken and throw it out, not worth the pain.

Not worth the risk... and that's coming from me.

Takeaway italian isn't worth the aluminum it's packed in.

I went with a beef and lamb gyros in the end. It was painful to have to part with the chicken, but a necessary sacrifice... for the good of my gut.

 

[Amory]

You're contemplating eating stinky chicken?

 

[bender]

Don't be a pussy.

 

[DonMigs85]

Why didn't you freeze it? Why leave it in just the fridge for 4 days?

 

[Spukc]

It’s normal to wash chicken caveman
Also OP eat the fucking chicken

 

[ManofOne]

Who the hell wants to eat 4 day old coc......roosters
