Something doesn't quite smell right here and probably it's not  the chicken.

Both the OP and TheWeekEnd specifically mention  chicken thigh fillets.

TWE purchased £14 worth of chicken thigh fillets and they were thrown away "probably for the third time".
£14 equates to around 12 fillets which is a lot. Could some have been frozen after purchase and then thawed? And thawed properly before cooking?
TWE has a total of 4 posts of which 3 are on this thread.
 

Vladi, let me help you because your remarks aimed at discrediting me is a bit rubbish.

1.     If this happened only once, I wouldn’t have bothered Googling it, I wouldn’t have found the original post and I wouldn't have replied. So the fact that 2 people are complaining about poor quality chicken isn’t a coincidence. They are linked by customer experience, and a search engine.  

2.     I never mentioned a fillet.

3.     £14 Buys you exactly 4 chicken thighs/legs in this store. 

4.     Probably" could also have been worded as "for the third time, possibly fourth".

5.     I mentioned that I cooked the pieces within an hour of purchase. Therefore, no freezing, no defrosting. 

6.     Did you know that it's possible to delete old posts when they are no longer relevant, saving your inbox from inane out-of-date replies?

7.     Why should l be a regular poster on here to be credible anyway?

Are you the partner of ArchieCarlos, the original poster?

No.

If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop?

And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off?

Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off?

Have I misunderstood?

I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining. 

And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.
 

So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure. 

I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 

I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy. 
We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
