One of the food most consumed in homes day by day is the chickenbecause it is one of the proteins which offers us a large number of nutrientssuch as lipids, vitamin 3, minerals such as iron, zinc, sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, among others. So we can use it in various dishes, from grilled, to crumbled, roasted, charcoal, among others.
That is why it is very normal that we find this food in every home and also that to maintain its freshness let’s put it inside the fridge in order to prolong its lifespan and at the same time, protect it from warm climates now that spring is about to begin.
Let us remember that even if the food is in refrigeration They can present bacterial contamination, when crossing with others, for example with proteins, which is why you have to be very attentive to know how long it is correct for it to remain at low temperatures.
This is the shelf life of chicken in the refrigerator.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), chickens have a very short period of life inside the refrigerator, since it can only be kept for one to two days and must be cooked or prepared immediately for it to be edible.
On the other hand, in case you have bought chicken and are not going to buy it yet cookit is best recommended to save it in the freezersince its life time is much longer and can last up to nine months afterwards, and can last up to a year if the piece is complete.
Likewise, if the chicken has already been Cookedit can also be stored in the refrigerator, in case it is not going to be consumed immediately, so it can last from 3 to 4 days, as long as the temperature is below 4°C, since this way We will prevent the growth of bacteria, while in the freezer it could last from two to six months.
Remember that it is very important that before consuming or preparing food with chicken we must look at its appearance to know what condition it is, through color, texture and even smell, to know that it is in good condition.
