Julie in CA Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I have a sealed, never-opened bag of grilled chicken breast strips from Costco. They are the precooked breasts of chicken, cut into strips, sold refrigerated, kwim? The package says to use by Feb 28. Would you use them? They look good and smell really good. Thanks, Julie p.s. I won't blame you if you tell me to eat them and then we all get food poisoning! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbeyej Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 If they smell fine and are so close to the date, I'd eat 'em. Bad chicken *stinks*. But I wouldn't save them any longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hana Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Ditto. If they smell good, they are good. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisperlily Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 As long as they've been stored properly, I would definitely use them. I'd use them as soon as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I wouldn't, but only because I'm paranoid about dates like that, and even if they were fine, I would imagine that they tasted funny while eating them. (Totally in my mind.) But if they smell fine, and look good, then I think they are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jail warden Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Eat it. Chicken when it goes bad smells terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie in CA Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 I chopped up the chicken and made sure I heated it very hot before we ate it. It was delicious with sauteed onions and cheddar cheese in quesadillas. It's the quickest dinner ever. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
