Be food safe
Like other poultry, raw meat or fish, bacteria can be found on raw or undercooked chicken. To prevent illness:
Eat or freeze leftover cooked chicken within three to four days.
Do not rinse or wash chicken because that spreads bacteria. Cooking will kill the bacteria.
Eating Healthy On A Budget
Cook chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F to kill bacteria. Use a meat thermometer to tell when it is done instead of relying on the color.
Freeze raw chicken that you do not plan to cook within one or two days of purchasing it. Freezing doesn’t kill bacteria; bacteria are destroyed by cooking.
Refrigerate leftover cooked chicken right away.
