If your fridge keeps food at 41 F, then your chicken is potentially good up to 10 days after you take it out of the freezer (don't count the days it was frozen). These are the rules that restaurants have to follow. You also have to take into account how many days you kept it in the fridge BEFORE you froze it or if you bought it frozen.
