Does that reduce how long it keeps or degrade it in any way?
Anything thay has been in contact with the chicken before cooking should be considered contaminated, unless it also has been cooked (if it is food) or washed.
So if the marinade sauce was with the chicken during cooking, it should be ok, if not, then no.
Don’t listen to them — you should drink it!
But yeah, throw that out.
I did lightly rinse the chicken off before (also heard I should use lemon juice instead or waterpr something) then I cooked it in marinated sauce.
I ended up sieving off the juice into a container I will retain until I have a use for or am told its not useful
It’s better not to rinse chicken before cooking. Droplets can contaminate nearby surfaces.
Ok, will do that next time, is literally just did in the sink and soaped after
It appears to just be in the sink, but fine droplets can travel farther than you would think.
If you have uncooked juice that has in anyway been in contact with the raw chicken it should be discarded, it is not safe.
I mean its was cooked in it and I’m wondering if it can stay with the chicken. I rinsed off chicken then cooked it in marinated juice that didnt orginiate from the chicken
If it is cooked, then it should be treated the same as cooked chicken, it’ll keep for a few days in the fride, longer in the freezer.
You should not reuse it when cooking a new chicken though.
Ok, I might do an A/B test and keep it with a piece of chicken in B and see how that compares after a few days
You’re overthinking this.
If it was cooked with the chicken then it’s fine for effectively as long the chicken is good for.
After a few days either way your cooked leftover chicken is nearing its end of life regardless.
Not sure why you got a downvote for that. The chicken will continue to absorb flavor from the sauce, and it’ll probably keep it a bit more moist as well
If it’s all getting cooked, at that point it’s no longer marinated juices, it’s the broth.
If it contains vinegar it would cook your chicken even further, I never tried it but I would guess that it would rubberize the chicken overnight. Not to mention all of the bacteria the marinade got from the previously uncooked chicken would now be festering on the cooked one.
