How To Know If Chicken is Bad?

The first and most obvious sign that your chicken is sour is its color change. It’s pink when it’s fresh, and the meat feels moist. If the skin is yellow or gray, it’s a warning sign. A white, fleshy color means the chicken is okay to eat. However, a gray or dull color means that it’s not safe to eat. A lousy chicken may be sticky or thick to the touch when cooking.

Another clue that your chicken is rotten is a terrible odor. You can also smell it. Although chicken shouldn’t smell very strongly, it should be odor-free.
