Accepted Answer

When it comes to store-bought garlic chicken, it's typically good for about a day or two past the 'sell by' date on the packaging if it's still unopened. However, once opened, you'll want to eat it within 3-4 days for best quality. If you have leftover homemade garlic chicken, aim to eat it within 2-3 days. If you have frozen garlic chicken, it can last up to 4 months but be aware, after such a period, the taste and texture can start to degrade even though it will still be safe to eat.

Additionally, if you see any mold, discolorations or a slimy texture, it's a palpable sign that your chicken isn't safe to eat. Lastly, when in doubt, it's always safer to throw it out.
