Poultry shouldn't be kept long at all and can go up to 1-2 days. I have a chart from a grocery store that says different times for different meats. It came from Price Chopper and if you have one near you maybe you could ask for a guide of some kind. To be safe though 1-2 days. Meats like hot dogs 1 week, lunch meat 3-5 days it says. Bacon 7 days, 3-5 days for pork chops and roasts. I always am more careful than not.
EDIT: My food chart that says 'price chopper' on it is the exact same one that Marda P put the link to from the FDA. It's very handy to keep on hand.

It depends on how long it sat in the fridge (your fridge and the store) before you froze it. ie: If the sell by date was the10th and you bought it on the 9th, then you froze it on the 9th, then I'd guess if you thaw it, you have one-two days to cook it.

It also depends on the kind of meat. Sniff it. If it smells bad, then you waited too long to cook it.
