Is it good to cook/eat an chicken meat (fresh meat from tesco) which is expired just 10 hours or 1 day from the expiry date.
I mean sometimes we tend to forget the meat in refrigerator .

I am sure they would have a properly verified safety margin just to minimise the risk of their being sued for poisoning.
Just don't blame me,

These dates are calculated by lawyers not cooks and are ... how can I put this kindly? ... a bit over-cautious. Unopened, refrigerated and just 1 day over the date, it should still be fine.If you fold it in half, will an Audi A4 fit in a Citroen C5?

With chicken open it and if it smells bad then bin it. One day past the date I personally would cook it as long as it had been refrigerated properly, the only chicken I've ever binned was bad 4 days before the use by.This is a system account and does not represent a real person.
