Marriage, fun? Fiddle-dee-dee. Fun for men you mean
How long would you give a roast chook in fridge before tossing? 1 day? 2 or more??

About 4 days. But I'm in the iron-guts camp. Plus I buy organic free range chickens so less likely to be infected with extra nasties.

I'd keep it about 3 days.

If I buy a bbq chook from Coles on a Friday night and it's not eaten by Sunday afternoon, I use the rest up in a risotto for dinner that night. I wouldn't keep it past that.

For me, depends who cooked it - the supermarket or you.

I cooked a whole roast chook last week for sandwiches, it was macro organic and once finely chopped, I kept it in an air tight container for three days.

If it was a supermarket rotisserie chook - two days max.

So, depends on a few variables for me - the type of chicken, where it came from, how it's stored etc.

Assuming you are talking about home cooked?
If it had been put in the fridge fairly soon after cooking then 4 days.
If it had sat out for a while during dinner (if it is the left overs you are talking about), then 3 days tops.

If it came from the supermarket roasted, 2 -3 days tops I guess.
