How long is chicken from the meat market good for in your refrigerator?

Chicken from the meat market is generally good for 3-5 days in your refrigerator.

Here are some things to keep in mind:

* "Sell by" date: This date indicates when the store thinks the chicken is at its freshest, but it's not an expiration date.

* "Use by" date: This date is a more reliable indicator of freshness.

* Storing properly: Keep the chicken in the coldest part of the refrigerator, ideally below 40°F (4°C). Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container.

* Smell test: If the chicken smells sour or off, discard it even if it's within the recommended storage time.

Important note: It's always better to err on the side of caution. If you're unsure about the freshness of the chicken, it's best to throw it away.
