Although the use by date on the package is a guideline, chicken tends to be pretty dodgy stuff and many bacteria love to feed on it, so I would say a day after the use by is ok but no more. If you mean you've cooked it then it really depends what you're using it for. To eat as cold meat I would avoid after 3 hours. If you're adding it to a boiling soup or boiling down to a stock then maybe even a week is ok.
