Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Ginger Chicken expire?
Unopened (vacuum sealed) ginger chicken from the grocery store usually has a 'best by' date printed on the packaging, which is typically somewhere between three to five days from the purchase time. Once opened, ginger chicken should be consumed within two to three days. If you decide to freeze your ginger chicken, it can generally last around two to three months.
How do you tell if Ginger Chicken is bad?
Look and smell are your main indicators that ginger chicken has gone bad. If the chicken has a dull color or a slimy texture, that's a sure sign it should not be consumed. Though a slight off-smell might be hard for less experienced kitchen-goers to recognize, a pungent, sour, or just 'off' smell is usually an indicator that the chicken has spoiled.
Tips for storing Ginger Chicken to extend shelf life
• Always store your ginger chicken in the refrigerator, below 5°C, to help extend its freshness. • Transfer your chicken from its store packaging into an air-tight container or a freezer bag to prevent cross-contamination with other foods in the fridge. • If you want to freeze ginger chicken, be sure to do so before the 'best by' date printed on the package. To defrost, place in the refrigerator to thaw for 24 hours before using. • Use separate utensils for handling raw and cooked ginger chicken to avoid cross-contamination.
