Cook it. Feed it to a probationer tomorrow night. See how they are the next day. Job done.

If it looks, smells and tastes ok then you're fine. Thousands of years of the evolution of our senses will serve you better than some bloke in a factory with a stamp.

ETA: Didn't notice it was Tesco value. I had the same issue last week (day or so after it's 'Use by' date, smelled slightly odd which made me a bit nervy), once cooked it smelled and tasted fine and I didn't have any problems afterwards. I didn't have the nerve to cook the other one a day later, though.

If it was me i would run for the hills only for the smell alone but normally it should be ok. Although supermarket meat is rank at anytime.

When chicken goes off it bloody stinks! if it smelt ok before it went in and you cook it properly then it's OK...... Probably!

Even fresh chicken can give you problems if not cooked thoroughly.

Tesco value chicken...........Have you no ethics man? That'll taste like a hockey puck no matter what you do to it. Being off, might improve the flavour.

[Disco_Dale]

As Z4monster rightly says, you'd know all about it if it was off.
Supermarkets (and all retailers) tend to factor in a big margin for error regarding use by dates.

It's completely safe.
If you die, can I have your Copen? My daughter really likes them

[DrTre]

You gotta ask yourself one question. Do I feel clucky? Well do you, punk?

I'm pretty sure supermarkets build in a little room for error with the use by date so as long as it doesn't smell really strongly then you'll be fine!!

You are a brave man

Was that gristle or tumour?

Look on the bright side..

If you start to die, you'll be able to make a Jadeesque fortune...

Then leave it to us and we'll drink to you in grand style...

Go for it....

If it smells like off meat, then I'd say it's possibly on the turn. You have thousands of years of evolution to thank for not eating off meat and getting poisoned.

I'd not risk it, but then I've had food poisoning before and spending two weeks retching your guts up isn't good fun (though it is great for the diet)....

But on the flip side, those sell by/eat by dates do have a margin for error in them...

if he posts back tomorrow morning, then i guess he's ok, and you'll have to buy your own Copen !
but salmonella poisoning does take a while

Is he dead yet...?

If it smells like a bin that's due to be put out then don't eat it.

Or marinade it in curry sauce to mask the smell

[Utterly Clueless]
