Only you can make that decision.
If it was me, I'd look at them, if they looked ok, then I'd smell them, if they smelled ok then I'd cook them and then I'd taste a tiny bit. If they tasted ok then I'd eat them.
I'll add this to our food safety thread later.

Do things the old fashioned way before sell by, use by etc.
Look & smell. If it passes that then cook & taste. The human race survived for thousands of years doing that before the craze for risk aversionThis is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

Not just you. I wouldn't eat it either. I have had food poisoning from chicken and never wish to repeat the experience. I have also had chicken that is off, before it's sell by date so wouldn't risk it two days past it.0 -
Nor me either. There are some things that really dont bother me like yogurt and cream but chicken or any meat/fish is a big no no!I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.0 -
I wouldn't risk it either. I've never had food poisoning and want to keep it that way,0
