Defrosting chicken

[HellBunny]

Hi ladies! I have a quick question..
I bought a pack of diced chicken the other day (from the chilled section), and i froze it as i wasn't sure when i wanted to use it, i've just put it in the fridge this morning to defrost it, how long can i keep it in there before using?

Thanks xx

I wouldn't leave it for more than over night.

It will normaly be fine for at least 48 hours.
When you are defrosting it though make sure its covered and no food is below it otherwise you can get food poisening from coss contamination of raw meat
