How long do you have to get chicken home from the shop?

Answer:

Answer

During cold winter months you could leave the chicken in the TRUNK of your car (where it would be the coldest) for up to 3 - 4 hours. In summer months do what I do and take along a large cooler with ice packs and put your chicken or other meats and anything else that may spoil and you can shop for another 3 - 4 hours.
