But it's been a long time since I bought bone-in chicken parts.

 

I, on the other hand, can't remember the last time I bought boneless chicken parts.

 

I've kept my bone-in chicken in the fridge for longer than what Chris H says (without repackaging) and been none the worst for it. It *does* depend also on how fresh the parts were when packaged. On occasion I've done a "fei sui" treatment on parts that were beginning to smell, or alternatively washed them well under the tap taking care to pull off fat and interposing tissues (where the "smell" really originates). Then use the pieces in a dish where it is definitely *cooked*. There is a cross-over line that I know but can't define when I will toss the package instead.
