Chicken in fridge

[JIMSMOKES]

Salted some boneless skinless chicken thighs last sunday and tossed them in a zip loc bag to cook Monday. Had to go out of town for work and it's been sitting in fridge for a week. Smells fine but is it safe to still cook and eat?

Personally I wouldn't eat them

I'm not and went and bought some more. It has a feb 13 date on packaging.
Curious as to what makes it ok to sit in their cooler for a week but not in my fridge. Which I know is colder as it's my extra beer fridge. LoL

Without knowing the sell by date on the original packaging, I'd toss, but if it was still within, or close to the original sell by date, I'd eat it.

Ha Ha, if it doesn't smell I look left, look right, no one watching, into the cook it goes.
