Refrigerate or Freeze. When you pick up chicken from the poultry section at your grocery store, it will last for one to two days raw in the refrigerator and three to four days when cooked. After this time, you should consider throwing it away. If you cannot cook or eat the chicken in this period, freeze it. A whole, raw chicken remains safe to eat for up to one year in the freezer, and raw chicken cutlets remain safe for nine months. If you want to freeze cooked leftovers, these can last in the freezer for two to six months.
Healthy Eating. The amount of time you can leave food in the fridge depends on the food -- and the food's expiration date. Some foods can be left in the fridge a long time and still be safe to eat.or dairy foods like milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, cheeses and butter, use the expiration date to determine how long they can safely be kept in your fridge. Many dairy products like milk safely last about two to three weeks.
