Cold Chicken Breast
I stored some fried chicken breast in the fridge a few days ago in a bowl with a plate on top. I realize now that wasn’t the best way to store it, as I should have used an airtight container. Do you think it’s still safe to eat?
Also, can I place it on a plate with hot food, or is it better to eat it separately?
If the chicken breast has been stored in the fridge for a couple of days, it should generally be safe to eat as long as it hasn’t developed any off smells, unusual colors, or slimy textures. However, it’s best to reheat it to an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) to ensure any bacteria are killed.
As for eating it with hot food, it’s actually fine to put cold chicken on a plate with hot food. However, be mindful that the cold chicken may cool down the hot food slightly, and the food should be consumed right away to avoid any food safety issues. Enjoy your meal!
