    Actually, I did not! And I didn’t say raw. Even cooked chicken should be used or consumed within 2-4 days: https://www.foodsafety.gov/food-safety-charts/cold-food-storage-charts

    That’s from when the US government was staffed with enough unbiased, science-following people! Also, it’s only when stored in a functional, temperature-controlled space. And yes, of course it errs on the side of safety, so home chefs and restaurant-goers alike can be confident they won’t kill someone. You’re obviously free to stretch and even ignore those recommendations. But I don’t envy the time you’ll have if you get unlucky…
