Answers:
Yes it should be fine, a good way to check is to smell it when it is defrosted - chicken that has gone off smells terrible! Gemma F is right, a whole chicken will not defrost in 10 hours in the fridge, more like 24hrs!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

yeah you can cook and eat anything as long as you make sure the temperature of the entire thing is over 83oC, as that is the minimum temperature that kills all bactiera and their spores!.

itll be safe to eat if you cook it, it jsut might have a funny texture to it or taste a bit funny cos of how long you stored it for!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
it is 2 months old you an get really sick & please don't give it to any kids if you do cook it

NOW HERE'S A QUESTION FOR U:

If the local chicken joint (KFC, Popeyes) had froze chicken for 2 months & served it to you!. Then you found out they served you old chicken will you try to sue them for serving you old chicken they kept frozen!.

If you said you would sue then why would it be ok to eat old frozen chicken out of your own freezer!.

Throw that crap away, take the lost, buy some fresh chicken to be safeWww@FoodAQ@Com

If your chicken was fresh (unfrozen) when you bought it and frozen by you it will be OK, the recommended freezer life of a chicken is 3 months!. IF it was purchased frozen with a use by date of 18/04/08 then the safest thing to do is bin itWww@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, it'll be perfectly alright!. Do NOT, however, fall for the "Defrost overnight in a fridge" trick because if your fridge is up to the mark it WON'T defrost overnight!. Take that into consideration before slipping it into the oven ! ! !Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would say be careful,If the date is january make sure it is well cooked!.If it is august or october it is fine !.(not sure what 18 is)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Frozen food wont become dangerous, it just wont taste as nice the longer its in the freezer!. Ive eaten frozen food a year later, and it just tastes worse!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes it's fine as long as it was frozen before the use by date!. Defrost slowly in the fridge and use the day it is defrosted!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

as long as it was frozen before that date then u can definatly still eat it!. u can freeze food for as long as u want, it wont go off!. When it is defrosted eat it within 12 hours maxWww@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, it should be fine!. Just remember to leave enough time to defrost and make sure it is cooked through at all places!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Would be very careful with chicken that's past a use by date!.
Two months out of date even if frozen sounds a bit dodgy!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes!. The use by date was if you had not frozen it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes should be fine, just to be safe stay close to a toilet for at least 12 hours after eating!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

of course it is the use by is really a guide if it smells OK when defrosted it is OKWww@FoodAQ@Com
