Question: how long does a defrosted chicken breast last in the fridge?
Answer: If you thawed the chicken in the refrigerator, you don't have to cook it right away. Poultry that's been defrosted in the fridge can be safely kept for an additional one to two days in the refrigerator before cooking, says the U.S. Department of Agriculture. You also can safely refreeze it within that same timeframe.
