Is it safe to cook and eat raw chicken that has been left out for 24 hours?
How long is it acceptable to leave raw chicken out before cooking and eating it and how long is it acceptable to leave cooked chicken out and safely eat it.
I hate to throw out and waste food.

it smells the chicken and puts it in the garbage
yeah it should be fine just cook it really hot to kill the bacteria
rotten meat is a delicacy in iceland.
step 1: smell it. smells sour? Dump it. Desperate? Rinse it in cold water. Smell again. Still off? Dump it, otherwise spice it up nicely and cook
Room temperature chicken should not be left more than an hour.
24 hours is far too long, i wouldn't risk it.
24 hours is too long sorry op
way too long for the likes of chicken or fish
actually too long for any kind of raw meat
If it smells like shit, no.
If you're iffy about the smell, no.
Otherwise, it's good.
Uh in this case I definitely would not even bother with smell. Chicken is very vulnerable to bacteria and 24 hours is def too long to be left out.

What if his room temperature is 35 degrees F?
Checkm8, atheists
The rule is 4 hours max at room temp.

Is it going to be fine as long as it smells good? Probably
Is it worth getting the shits for if you're wrong? Not really
Ignore these people senpai.
Soak it in vodka for an hour, then sautee.
Honestly, it will probably be fine. I'd chuck it though just to be on the safe side.
I've ... experienced campylobacter jejuni. It nearly caused inflammatory bowel syndrome. You do NOT want it.
Throw it away. It's chicken. It's not worth it, anon.
I never understood it, if heat kills bacteria why does it even matter if you refrigerate raw meats or not? I can understand the importance of refrigerating cooked foods but why uncooked if it's going to be heated? Do some bacteria survive the cooking process?

Stop refrigerating all your meat, just leave it all sitting on the counter until you're ready to cook it and you'll find out.

try this OP and report back next week i'm dying to find out if it's safe thanks
>>7193839
Because bacteria living in it untill the moment you cook it already cause damage and produce toxins that you won't kill because they're not fucking alive
>>7193730
room temp is actually generally defined as 75F
>>7193861
Do it OP
For science
>>7193839
if you heat a chicken long enough to kill the toxins that bacteria leave behind then the chicken is overcooked and will practically be inedible anyway
>>7193839
I don't understand why labs have all this fancy equipment like autoclaves when they can just sterilize their equipment to 160F in their ovens and cast iron pans
>>7193939
What if they shoot up beef and cattle with more anitbiotics and sodium so their bodies are less hospital for bacterias? That way they bacteria wont make the toxins.
>>7193981
thats not how it works anon

>hot toxins
Good name for a band.

Was it frozen solid when you left it out? Yes? It might be okay, but your nose is your best judge. It was thawed? Not a chance.
Cooked chicken can be left out overnight, but I typically eat it by lunch that day.
I did that once for chicken that was lukewarm for like 9 hours. Cooked it extra thoroughly hoping it would turn out ok.
i didn't get vomiting sick but I felt really fucked up for like 5 days. I'm not even sure there's a word for that feeling other than "something is terribly wrong". Overall highly unpleasant, 0/10 would not do again.

Any food can be left at room temperature (internally) for up to 4 hours.
