    Hi durham-girl,

    I have a rule of thumb for keeping chicken in the fridge for three days maximum, provided it has been cooled quickly and kept in the fridge.

    I'll add this to the main thread on keeping cooked chicken so that you can see other people's opinions.

    I'd eat them. If they'd been left out in this heat then I wouldn't risk it but sealed in the fridge - definately!!

    Should be fine if they've been in the fridge.

    Even if you use them in a curry and then freeze that, if it's too warm for curry today ;)

    Cooked or raw meat will be OK in the fridge for 3-5 days;)
