Question:

How long can you keep chicken in the refridgerator before it goes bad?

I cut up some chicken, applied marinade, and let it sit for a couple of days. I think the expiration date said tomorrow...


Answers:
only marinade for no more then 24 hrs otherwise the spice breaks down the meat to mush,and chicken thawed in the fridge is only good for 2 days and that pushing it.

I think you should cook chicken within 1 day of purchase and eat within 1 day of cooking. it holds a lot of bacteria, cook it well today and eat it today. be safe!

If chicken is cooked about 1 week. If chicken is raw in marinade less than 24 hours. Overnight is find if you plan to cook it the next day.

The marinade will help preserve it and it will still be OK if it has been covered. Your nose will tell you if it has gone off.
I wouldn't leave it much longer than three days though. Cook it and if you still can't use it then freeze in a sealed container.

24 hour

I agree with question , probably o.k but you're pushing it past tomorrow.
