Question

Can I eat a piece of KFC that was left out unrefrigerated (but covered) overnight?

Answer 1

You will be sick if you do. Throw that food away!.......

Answer 2

Toss it.

Answer 3

no...you arent supposed to leave meat out overnight. or over 2 hours......might give u sum poisoning. no joke. betta to be safe then sorry.

Answer 4

It depends on the temperature inside your house.  If it was reasonably cool, then it should be fine provided you warm it up.  If your house is warm, then I wouldn't chance it.  Bacteria grows in warm temperatures and slows down in cold ones.  Next time, just put it in the fridge :p

Answer 5

no u cant i work at a kfc and the chiken only last 90miniutes from it being cooked.... then u have to frow it away

Answer 6

yes...

Answer 7

yup

Answer 8

hahaha i suppose so if you're really that hungry!! KFC chicken has so many preservatives and hormones and antibiotics you could probably eat it after a YEAR with no refridgeration.

Answer 9

yea just heat it up in the microwave

Answer 10

i wouldn't.that can make you sick.

Answer 11

if you want to..im gettin ready to here in about 3 minutes

Answer 12

No, it will make you sick.  You should have refrigerated it.

Answer 13

Yes, It will be just fine.( If the room temp was not too warm)  It will not taste the same.

Answer 14

I wouldn't. Meat needs to be kept in the fridge even after it's cooked. If you do, re-heat it for sure.

Answer 15

i don't suggest you eat meat that has been sitting out that long.

Answer 16

"Can" and "Should" are two separate issues. You can, and you may be just fine. In fact, there's a very good chance that there is nothing wrong with the food.

However, I would say it's best to err on the side of caution. Don't eat it. The potential negative outcomes (hospitalization, sickness, nausea) outweigh the positive outcomes (delicious).

Answer 17

well, its not healthy. but if u cant resist, heat it well in a microwave and then carry on!!!!!!!!!

Answer 18

It is fine...it was fully cooked...and is has only been 24 hrs...if it was like day and half 2 days then i would say toss it...

Answer 19

if its fully cooked its fine. if you must eat it, just reheat it first

Answer 20

Yes. It's been completely cooked and also has some preservatives in it.

Answer 21

yh go on

Answer 22

if you want to i do it.

Answer 23

yes..its not  rotten yet. but personally, i dont eat leftovers.

Answer 24

The amount of money you'll spend on medical bills to recover from the funk you'll get will exceed the cost of going out and buying fresh food. Bon appetite'.

Answer 25

if you wanna make brown EVERYWHERE

Answer 26

yup, i do it all the time  pizza chicken burgers

Answer 27

i don't see any harm in it. Sure why not

Answer 28

unfortunately no...

it will be a nice place for germs to spread.

put it safely in a fridge next time :)

Answer 29

Yes you can- just warm it in the microwave for 3 minutes high...

Answer 30

no. It can get Bactria leaving it out over night yuck

Answer 31

I'd say no. Chicken left out over night is a high risk item for bacteria.  Toss it n find something else!
