How should I store uncooked chicken?

Robin's Expert Answer gives Excellent advice. Make sure the raw chicken is not stored where it can drip on any other food items.

Chicken should be stored as stated in a temperature of between 1 and 5 degrees C for best results. When purchasing it should be transported in a chilled environment i.e either in a shoppers cool bag or with chilled /frozen foods with it - The basic out of chilled envionment time is about 30 minutes. Once cooked it can again be stored (in a sealed container) in the same chilled temperature for 3 to 5 days. Freezing will keep the chicken for 9 to 12 months as a whole uncooked meat.
