Carotene is an orange pigment found in corn and most chickens eat corn. The pigment gets stored in the fat of the chicken and that's why you see it on raw chicken. It is harmless.

What are the signs of raw chicken being spoiled?

Fowl smell (I couldn't resist)!!! Like they say "if it smells bad it probably is" Chicken should be used within 2-3 days or should be frozen. If in doubt throw it out!!! Do not feed it to your dog.Additionally, if it smells yeasty, of ammonia or of rotten eggs (sulfurous), it is bad. If it is bone-in chicken, you can smell it near the joints first. A greenish tinge and/or sliminess are also not good.
