Answer:Never take a chance on chicken. If it has an unpleasant smell then it's really not worth getting food poisoning ~ Throw it out! Or, if you only just purchased it, take it back to the shop you bought it from and ask for a refund.

Raw meat should not have a smell to it. When it has an odour to it it is a sure sign that it is starting to spoil. Blood will spoil quicker and some rare conditions causes the smell on the meat. Washing it off helps to reduce the odour but it is best to just toss it out to avoid being made sick by eating it.

If any food does not have the normal odor, texture or appearance that you would expect, it is best not to consume it.

Boneless chicken breasts seem to never smell. Other cuts seem to vary in smell. The smell of these cuts is distinct from other meats. The smell probably depends on the bird's diet. The easiest way to tell you what store-bought raw chicken smells like it to start with what it shouldn't smell like. It should not smell sour like vinegar. It should not smell yeasty, like bread dough that is rising. It should not smell of ammonia or chlorine. It should not smell skunky or sulfurous.

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.
