How long can uncooked chicken stay fresh in the fridge?

Here are some additional tips:

* Store it properly: Place the chicken on a plate or in a container to prevent juices from dripping onto other foods.

* Keep it cold: The refrigerator temperature should be at or below 40°F (4°C).

* Check the "sell-by" date: This date is a guideline for the store, but it's a good indicator of how long the chicken has been in the store.

* Don't freeze and thaw multiple times: This can compromise the safety of the chicken.

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