How long do raw chicken kabobs last in the fridge?
Raw poultry kabobs keep 1–2 days in the fridge — the vegetables on the skewer don’t buy the chicken any extra time.
How long does it keep?
| Fridge | 1–2 days |
|---|---|
| Freezer | 3–4 months |

Can it sit out?
Raw chicken kabobs is perishable — the FSIS 2-hour rule applies.
Perishable food left at room temperature for more than 2 hours should be thrown out — 1 hour if it’s 90°F or hotter (a picnic, a hot car, a summer kitchen).
How to tell if raw chicken kabobs has gone bad
- A sour smell off the tray that isn’t the marinade
- Chicken cubes gone slimy where they meet the skewer
- Peppers or onions turned mushy and weeping
When in doubt, throw it out.
Check 165°F in the thickest cube in the middle of a skewer, not the end pieces that char first.
