Yesterday I made a chicken stir fry using chicken tenderloins. I cut them up in cubes and had maybe a couple of ounces of waste that hit the trash. Maybe 6 hours later as I was heading off to bed I thought I caught a whiff. Nah, I'll take out the trash tomorrow morning. This morning it smelled like a large animal layed bloated and fly covered in my kitchen.
Is there any meat that decays faster than chicken?? Yuck...

Whenever my wife cooks supper with chicken, the garbage goes out of the chicken that night, regardless of how much space may be left in the garbage bag.
I started to say something about the title of this thread, but I won't.

Yeah, chicken is bad. Potatoes are really bad too, but take longer.

I've mentioned this before, but I'll do a rerun here.
I keep the bottom of my freezer section (side by side reefer) reserved for such things as chicken / turkey scraps. I just bag them up, toss them in and there they remain in suspended putrefaction until trash day, when they go out to the curb as frozen lumps. Out here on this coast I don't dare put anything in the trash that's going to rot. With the heat comes the flies and their .... errr ... offspring.
Works for me, has for years.

Shrimp. I had some go bad in one of those mini apartment refrigerators. Nothing (bleach, charcoal, naptha, etc.) would remove the smell. I had to discard the fridge.

I was going to bake some chicken for dinner.
Not now. Think I'll pick up a pizza.

Chicken and fish both go bad pretty fast and put out some disgusting odors.
What's the homily? "Throw out fish, chicken and house guests after 3 days".
In my book, fish becomes "inedible" long before it's far enough gone to make you sick. I want it to be fresh and, as the saying goes, "if fish smells 'fishy', it isn't fresh".

Yeah, any seafood gets nasty quick at garbage can/room temps.
I used to freeze the discards but we always seem to have limited freezer space and we also get trash pickup twice a week, so that helps.

Rather than toss it into the trash can and let them stink it up, I place chicken cut-offs into a bowl (a bowl specific to this task) and microwave it on high for about four minutes.
The result is a pile of crumbly cinders that I toss into the kitchen trash and they do not stink up the place. I do the same with fish, shrimp shells, etc.
Works a treat. I invented this about 10 years ago and have shown this to a bunch of folks, and they do it now.

I've had a bag of shrimp heads in the freezer for two weeks because I keep forgetting them on garbage day. My shrimp dealer is due in town this weekend and I'll zap everything when I'm done. |

I pitch such things out back for various critters to consume in the night. It must make them happy. I’ve walked out, at night, and been greeted by a grinning ‘possum.

Anything I cut off a chicken carcass that is not going to be part of the main meal gets put back in the fridge or frozen and will eventually be turned into stock.
That goes for pretty much any animal parts -- nothing goes into the garbage raw. It all gets used to make stock.

Another plus to having newspapers delivered- they
come wrapped in a 14" by 5" cylinder of plastic wrap,
closed on one side.
I keep a stash of the bags to throw the hazardous material
into, seal it with a knot, then toss into my garbage can,
without having to worry about thread titles.
(sometimes Sue forgets to use the bags. I think fish remains get ripe
a whole lot quicker than chicken..)

Readers of George Hayduke should already know this aspect of Chicken meat.
