Forgot to Freeze Chicken Steaks? What Happens After the Use By Date?!

Honestly, I’m kind of annoyed at myself for forgetting those breaded chicken steaks in the fridge. Bought them on the 16th, use by was the 20th, and I only tossed them in the freezer on the 18th. I know food safety experts say the use by date is strict, especially for chicken, and freezing after that point doesn’t magically make it safe. I’m not sure if I should risk it or just throw them out. Has anyone actually eaten chicken like this and been fine? Or is it just not worth the risk? I'm just feeling sorry for my money! #foodsafety #chicken #freezerquestions #kitchenmistakes #Food
