Smell it, it'll tell ya! It should be fine.

I would use it, no problem, especially since it was defrosted in fridge. . .

if your fridge is like mine it probably wasn't totally defrosted till sometime today (Sunday).

I thawed v-s pork in the refrigerator and used it several days later. The

vacuum-packaging retards the growth of bacteria I think (except in the case of botulism, which thrives in anaerobic conditions (ie., a can)!). Either way, we are fine ;o)

Okay, I sniffed and I cooked! Dawn, I made the chicken you posted in TNT from Dot

and it was great! I was feeling very virtuous as I did not have any rice with it, a low carb night. Except for the wine of course! LOL

Thanks all for your advice! I was just going to throw it away but I'm glad I didn't....
