How Long Can A Raw Whole Chicken Stay In The Fridge?
A raw whole chicken can stay in the fridge for up to 2 days before it needs to be cooked or frozen. It is important to store the chicken in a temperature-controlled environment below 40°F and in its original packaging or in an airtight container to prevent contamination and spoilage. Always check for signs of spoilage, such as bad odor or discoloration, before cooking the chicken.
