still ok to eat?

[Anonymous]

I defrosted shredded rotisserie chicken on sunday. It smells fine today, and obviously looks fine. Would you consider this food safe? I feel like today is the last possible day I could still use it, possibly.

I wouldn’t, and I’m usually very relaxed about stuff like this.

I would. Have kept a rotisserie chicken for up to 5 days and it was fine.

I am sure it’s fine.

It’s fine so long as it doesn’t have smell and isn’t slimy.

I think this, but also wonder -- how did you defrost it? If you defrosted it in the fridge, then I leaner harder to "it's fine." If you defrosted in the microwave or on the counter, I would be more hesitant.

Putting it in the fridge Sunday means it was still partially frozen Monday. It is fine. I pulled a roast out today to cook Sunday.

How old was the shredded chicken when you put it in the freezer? If it was same day it was cooked/you bought it, I'd say it's fine.

Dear Lord you people have no clue about food safety.
Defrosted raw chicken is supposed to be eaten within 2 days. Freezing cooked chicken is more risky esp if it sat at room temperature for any amount of time.

Most food poisoning bacteria has no smell or taste.
