If chicken is thawed in a vacuum-sealed bag and kept unopened in the fridge for 5 days, it is generally safe to eat, as long as it was thawed properly and stored at a safe temperature (below 40°F or 4°C). However, always check for any off smells or unusual textures before cooking. If the chicken was previously frozen and thawed in the fridge, it should ideally be cooked within 1-2 days for best quality. If in doubt, it's better to err on the side of caution and discard it.
