According to Foodsafety.gov, uncooked poultry is safe in the refrigerator for 1-2 days, and safe in the freezer for 9 months (for pieces) and up to 12 months for whole chickens or turkey. Cooked poultry is safe refrigerated for 3-4 days.
When asked, how long does chicken keep in the refrigerator, the best answer is, 'It depends.' There are several factors to consider including: Is the chicken raw or cooked? How fresh was it when you placed it in the refrigerator? Is the refrigerator maintaining a temperature of 40 or colder? Was raw chicken kept cold when transported from the store? How long cooked chicken will keep is different than for uncooked chicken. As a general rule, raw chicken is very perishable and will keep in the refrigerator for only 1 to 2 days. When the question is how long does cooked chicken keep, the general rule is 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator. The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has a lot of information on its website to help insure food safety and most general all-purpose cookbooks include tips on buying, storing, and cooking chicken and poultry.
