Throw it out>>...

Answer 4

If the chicken still felt cool to the touch and had no odor I would cook it. I defrost overnight and sometimes leave it all day and as long as its cold to th etouch, I cook it and have been fine.

Answer 5

Seems like you're doing your best to convince yourself. BUT its your health and the health of your family.

I KNOW I wouldn't eat it.

Answer 6

if your kitchen is 40 degrees then you would be pretty safe, that's the temp of a fridge. if it is a whole chicken i would think twice. seasonings don't do anything to preserve meat except for salt and if you put enough salt on that chicken to preserve it i wouldn't eat it lol.

Answer 7

do not eat it. After 4 hours, chicken left at room temperature has dangerous levels of bacteria. They multiply x2 every half hour. Imagine how many hours you have left it out for.

Answer 8

I wouldn't eat it.  I have seen grown men eat just about anything and everything that has been sitting out though.
