I just did this on friday, actually. Now the chicken is cooked and I'll put it into enchiladas or something tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ear-chicken-past-the-sell-by-date#post-1362837 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 21:03:46 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 1362837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is in my belly now. Time will tell!</p> <p>It was delicious btw. I boiled for two hours it until it just shredded off into big chunks. I think if I had roasted it I would have been more paranoid, but with all that vinegar and soy sauce I couldn't taste anything else! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ear-chicken-past-the-sell-by-date#post-1362827 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 21:01:06 +0000 Ginabean3 1362827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd be too paranoid!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ear-chicken-past-the-sell-by-date#post-1362817 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 20:56:43 +0000 twoofeverything 1362817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree!

I wouldn't be able to enjoy it - I'd keep thinking it tasted funny even if it didn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ear-chicken-past-the-sell-by-date#post-1362786 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 20:49:06 +0000 Sapphiresun 1362786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Best before doesn't usually equal inedible after.</p> <p>If it seems like it's still good I'd eat it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ear-chicken-past-the-sell-by-date#post-1362314 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 17:17:49 +0000 MsMamaBear 1362314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, not with meat.

You see all sorts of things...use by...sell by...expiration...best by....they all have meanings set by the company that made it! </p> <p>We are going to eat it, assuming it smells ok when I get it out of the packaging. I am going to make chicken adobo and boil the crap out of the whole thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ear-chicken-past-the-sell-by-date#post-1361430 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 12:06:09 +0000 littlebug 1361430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: Same here. My mom worked in food safety and said the same thing - the sell-by and best-before dates are extremely cautious. That being said, we always give it the sniff/slime test first, but a sell-by date of Friday wouldn't really bother me too much today, but I wouldn't let it go any longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ear-chicken-past-the-sell-by-date#post-1361425 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 12:04:14 +0000 blackbird 1361425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 days?

We eat a lot of food that they're not allowed to sell in the store but is perfectly safe to eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ear-chicken-past-the-sell-by-date#post-1361347 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 11:46:28 +0000 artsyfartsy 1361347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH will but I won't.
