The "expiration" date would refer to normal and proper storage. If freezing would be the recommended storage, then the date would apply.
How long something lasts after thawing depends upon a number of variables. If you thawed it on the counter or used a quick-thaw method, don't expect it to last 5 days.
If the pre-cooked chicken was near the end of its shelf life when it was frozen, don't expect the thawed product to last 5 days.
If your refrigerator is set too high, don't expect the food to last 5 days.
Thawed foods really should be used within a couple days.
Well, if you plan on cooking a chicken you should probably cook it like 5 days before the expiration date on the package. i was going to cook chicken 1 day before the exp. date, and it smelled no bueno. :) you should smell the chicken before anything. every time you wanna cook with it.

Fish can stay in the fridge for up to 2 days after thawing before it should be consumed.
Breast milk can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours after thawing before it needs to be used or discarded.
Thawing of meat is a physical change because the change in state from frozen to liquid does not alter the chemical composition of the meat itself. The molecules in the meat remain the same before and after thawing.
The expiration date is there so you know an approximate date when it should not be used. Three days before an expiration wouldn't do harm, a day or two after expiration might not do harm either, but avoid using vaccines (or any medications) that are after their expiration date.
The expiration date for Lactaid can typically be found on the packaging of the product. It is important to check the expiration date before consuming to ensure freshness and safety.
Well, honey, technically speaking, as long as those chicken kievs were kept frozen the entire time, they should still be safe to eat past the expiration date. Freezing helps to preserve the food and prevent bacterial growth. Just make sure to check for any funky smells or strange discoloration before chowing down. Enjoy your potentially vintage meal!
