How can you tell if chicken has gone off? I have a chicken breast which has been in the fridge and it has gone a bit white. It doesnt smell at all though. I ate one out of the same packet yesterday and it was fine.

I thought i could tell by smell. What a fast response! There is no smell at all so i guess its ok. Am cooking it for 5 hours in my slow cooker in a chili con carne sauce! Thanks everyone.
5 hours 4 chicken breast??
If you are in doubt, don't eat chicken that may be off.

Food poisoning is no joke. Sitting on the loo for hours on end may not be your idea of fun either.

Buy some fresh and eat within the bast by date - you'll be much happier!
