Question 9

When does Barbecue chicken expire?

Accepted Answer

Barbecue chicken, whether store-bought or homemade, generally stays fresh in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days past the 'sell-by' date if unopened. Once opened or if it's a leftover, it should be consumed within 3-4 days to maintain its quality and avoid any harmful bacteria growth. Chicken, being a protein-rich food product, might spoil if left at room temperature for more than 2 hours. If you've frozen barbecue chicken, it can last up to 4 months while preserving its taste quality.

Question 10

How do you tell if Barbecue chicken is bad?

Accepted Answer

Spoiled barbecue chicken might have a sharp, sour smell that's quite off-putting compared to its normally mouth-watering aroma. Upon visual examination, if you see mould or a slimy surface, it's a clear sign that it has gone bad. But don't rely solely on appearance; tasting a small piece might reveal a sour or off flavour if it's spoiled. Always remember, when in doubt, throw it out!

Question 11

Tips for storing Barbecue chicken to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Always refrigerate chicken leftovers within two hours of cooking to maintain its quality.

• When ready to consume, thaw frozen barbecue chicken in the refrigerator overnight for safe and gradual defrosting.

• Always keep hot food hot and cold food cold to prevent any harmful bacteria growth.
