Here's a more detailed breakdown:

* Cooked chicken: 3-4 days

Important considerations:

* Temperature: The refrigerator should be set to 40°F (4°C) or below.

* Storage: Store raw chicken on a low shelf in the refrigerator, below other foods, to prevent cross-contamination.

* Packaging: Keep chicken in its original packaging or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

* Safety: If you're unsure whether chicken is still safe to eat, it's best to err on the side of caution and throw it away.

Signs of spoiled chicken:

* Off odor: Chicken should have a mild, meaty smell. If it smells sour or ammonia-like, it's spoiled.

* Color changes: Fresh chicken has a light, pinkish hue. Spoiled chicken may be gray or green.

* Slimy texture: Raw chicken should be firm and springy. If it feels slimy or sticky, it's spoiled.

Remember, it's always better to be safe than sorry. If you have any doubts about the safety of your chicken, it's best to throw it away.
