What can I do with my chicken?

Options
Hi

After some advice please.

I brought a frozen chicken yesterday (free range of course ;) ) at my local farm shop, I had to buy it as they sell so quickly!

Trouble is I had no room in my freezer so had to stick it in the fridge and has now defrosted.

My question is: I need chicken for Fridays dinner (Breast meat preferably) Do you think it will last that long? or am I best to cook the whole bird today and then save the meat for friday? (if that will last??)

I don't need to cook the bird today if that helps?

Thankyou ;)

    If it's defrosted, I'd aim to cook it asap. I generally keep chilled meat for 72 hours after it's cooled, so Friday would be pushing it in my book. I'd cook it, strip it, and freeze it again.

    Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realise we cannot eat money
