Does that reduce how long it keeps or degrade it in any way?

    I did lightly rinse the chicken off before (also heard I should use lemon juice instead or waterpr something) then I cooked it in marinated sauce.

    I ended up sieving off the juice into a container I will retain until I have a use for or am told its not useful

      If you have uncooked juice that has in anyway been in contact with the raw chicken it should be discarded, it is not safe.

        I mean its was cooked in it and I’m wondering if it can stay with the chicken. I rinsed off chicken then cooked it in marinated juice that didnt orginiate from the chicken

          If it is cooked, then it should be treated the same as cooked chicken, it’ll keep for a few days in the fride, longer in the freezer.

          You should not reuse it when cooking a new chicken though.

              Not sure why you got a downvote for that. The chicken will continue to absorb flavor from the sauce, and it’ll probably keep it a bit more moist as well

              You’re overthinking this.

              If it was cooked with the chicken then it’s fine for effectively as long the chicken is good for.

              After a few days either way your cooked leftover chicken is nearing its end of life regardless.

      It’s better not to rinse chicken before cooking. Droplets can contaminate nearby surfaces.
