I bought 1 large pack each of drumsticks and thighs yesterday (Monday) trying to get ahead of the game for a party this Saturday. I thought they'd be OK in the fridge until I marinade on Wednesday, but not sure after doing some research.
What should I do now? Should I freeze the chicken until Wed and defrost overnite/next day then marinade on Thursday nite? How many days max should I marinade?

You only need to marinate over night. So put the chicken back in the freezer till Thursday. When Thursday morning (early) comes. Let it unthaw in the sink. That way when you get home from work or whatever they'll be unthawed. Then you can put the chicken in the fridge till Friday morning. Season it. Put it back in the fridge, then it'll be ready for Saturday.

Freeze until Wed, defrost overnight next day, marinate on Thursday - cook on Friday. After chicken has thawed, I have left it the refrigerator for two days before cooking, probably best at one day, I am just daring and have not had any problems , probably because I keep it at the top of the fridge where it is the coldest.

Chicken doesn't normally last long in the fridge... it will start to smell. You could have left it in the freezer till Wednesday, take it out and let it thaw in the fridge till Friday and marinate it 24 hours cooking it on Saturday in time for your party.

raw chicken is good for 2 days in the fridge, after that ur risking seminella and contaminating otherfood in the fridge. Freeze it until the day before ur ready to use.

I would only let in the fridge for 2 days. Wash it in cold water before cooking it.

even thoough people say you can get sick, if i leave my chicken in the fridge a day or two too long i rinse it with vinegar and scrub it with salt and rinse throughly again in hot water, then in cold, it gets rid of the smell but the germs are probably still in there *shrug* what doesnt kill u makes u stronger lol

i wont use it after about 3 days. freezing and rethawing might work if u just bought it. marinate overnight the night before cooking. best bet is to buy chicken the day b4 u need it and marinate overnight befor cooking
