how long can chicken stock stay in the fridge

Chicken stock can safely stay in the fridge for about 4 to 5 days. Both homemade and store-bought chicken stock or broth generally last this long once opened or prepared. It is recommended to store the stock in an airtight container in the coolest part of the fridge and to label it with the date it was opened or made. If the stock smells or tastes off, it should be discarded even if within the 5-day window. For longer storage, freezing is advised, where it can last several months while maintaining best quality.
