Can eating cold chicken hurt you if it has laready been cooked and put in the fridge is safe just to eat cold?
Eating cold chicken that has already been cooked and put in the fridge is generally safe, as long as it has been handled and stored properly. Here are a few things to keep in mind when eating cold chicken:
* Make sure the chicken was cooked thoroughly before being refrigerated. This means that the internal temperature of the chicken should have reached at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
* The chicken should be refrigerated within two hours of cooking.
* The chicken should be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator to prevent cross-contamination with other foods.
* Cold chicken should be eaten within three to four days of being cooked.
If you are concerned about the safety of eating cold chicken, you can always reheat it before eating. To reheat cold chicken, place it in a microwave-safe dish and microwave on high for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until heated through. You can also reheat cold chicken in the oven by preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and baking the chicken for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
By following these tips, you can safely enjoy eating cold chicken.
