    You can if you want to. I generally go about 3 days tops but if it hasn't spoiled and you don't mind it being that old, heat it up and see how it looks, smells and taste.

    NO. Chicken does not last long in the 'fridge and who know HOW long they had it before you! 6 bucks of food isn't wortha day of vomitting.

    Uh, no, I'd throw it out. Don't risk getting sick.

    I wouldn't let it go more than 2 days.

    Women…I swear (shakes head with mild amusement).
    It appears some of you have not experienced the joy of pizza left out on the table for a few days, "vintage" lasagna, or "antique" Thanksgiving turkey/ham. In short, you were never a bachelor.

    Four days? So long as it never sat out overnite…it'll be fine. Enjoy.

    Not worth the risk! Especially since it is takeout/delivery. One reason people order instead of using pre-packaged is because there are no preservatives in the takeout like there is in packaged Chinese foods.
