Fresh product can be stored in the freezer for up to eight months. But this is not always possible.
Therefore, it is important to know how to properly store chicken without a freezer.
You can keep poultry in the refrigerator for one to four days.
Here everything depends on the packaging. If the bird is in a regular bag, then liquid will accumulate inside, in which bacteria will begin to multiply quickly.
Such products cannot be stored at room temperature.
This significantly reduces the shelf life of the carcass.
If the meat has been out of the refrigerator for more than half an hour, it is better to cook it the same day. It is not worth putting it back in the refrigerator.
Offal, such as liver or heart, can remain in the refrigerator for up to 18 hours. Then the products must be cooked.
As chefs note, you can try to increase the shelf life of chicken using marinade.
It is important to consider that apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and soy sauce are better suited for this. You will have to use plenty of seasonings, such as pepper or sugar.
