When the package is first opened, you will notice a slight odor. Let the chicken air out, and if an odor still persists, throw it out. Bad chicken has a strong, garbage like odor. Fresh chicken will have little to no odor.
No, if you're talking about live chickens. They are very clean animals
yes, chicken does have a smell.
no but it cooks faster if it is it would and it is easier to work with defrosted
I wouldn't.
If the chicken was thawed out under refrigeration - Yes. It should be able to be used the next day.
To insure thorough cooking of the food item.
You can if it was deep-frozen raw chicken which was defrosted and then thoroughly cooked in the oven. If the cooked chicken is then deep-frozen it can be defrosted (thawed) and eaten, but should not be deep-frozen a third time.
No. Salmonella, for one, has no odor.
Leave it in The Fridge You Chicken Wing ;)
Chicken should be defrosted under refridgeration and once defrosted removed only to prepare for cooking.
Yes. As long as the chicken has been refrigerated while thawing, to keep the growth of bacteria to a minimum, it should be able to safely be roasted.
you should know whether your chicken is spoiled before cooking. Smell it and if you smell even the slightest bad odor, throw it out.

Yes it is safe to cook a partially defrosted chicken if the entire chicken gets cooked; which will take longer if the center is still frozen when you start cooking it compared to the time it would take if the chicken was raw or completely defrosted. The primary concerns you have with chicken are campylobacter (bacteria) which are not rendered harmless until they have experienced 68°C (155°F) for at least a few minutes. It's always safer to completely defrost before cooking, unless you enjoys taking risks with your health...
