Omylanta such a Nanny :/
Her advice is off by days for cooked chicken. Why does everyone have the need to lie about these things :/
“For your own good”, yeah? :/
But here’s the real trick for raw meat-
Take the chicken - or any meat- out of the wrapper if you’re fridging it for more than a day.
Is the meat in the butcher case wrapped up? No, no it’s not.
It’s best to put it the chicken or meat on a rack over a pan or plate to catch drips.
You can cover it loosely with a small damp cloth or leave it uncovered. Down in the bottom of your fridge where it’s the coldest your meat will last 5 or 6 or more days. Keep a an eye on it.
I’ve been doing this for 30 years and nobody ever got food poisoning.
I sometimes buy and entire NY roast in the cryo pack and put it on a rack in the bottom of the fridge.
I cut steaks off of it for as long as it lasts...up to 4 weeks.
Always unpack your meat and allow it to chill in the dry air of the fridge. It last a long time.
Bacteria needs water and all the bacteria is on the surface.
