I wouldn't eat it. I've done food safety training and the bacteria multiplies in unrefrigerated meat rapidly. I think there's a limit to how long it can stop out. Is the price of a chicken worth the family getting food poisoning?

I think it will be fine...my parents used to do a roast chicken at midday on Sundays, and we would all just pick at th carcass left on the side until teatime and then eat the meat in sandwiches for tea...without it being refrigerated and it never hurt me so i guess 12-7pm is a similar time scale. Hope that helps.

Where, I suspect, you are trained to leave a huge margin of safety so that the public haven't even the remotest chance of being poisoned:).

The reality is that the OPs chicken will be perfectly safe to eat.

I'd eat it. I've often left food out overnight having forgotten to get it in the fridge before bedtime and I'm still here.

tap tbh myself and a lot of ppl have done the above and been just fine.. I think theres a lot of guff about this kinda thing.. like the rice thingy.. have had previously cooked rice many many times and likewise nor have I ever come across anyone who has. the only time i ever had any food issues was when i got mild food poisoning from a Hollands cheese and onion pie at Huddersfield football ground a few years back. As this didnt contain any form of meat I can only assume that the said pie must have been frozen ,. thawed and refrozen.. IN any event I was fine after consuming it at lunchtime.. it was about 6pm that night that thar she blows as it were:rotfl:

I've been doing this for years, if we have a roast on the sunday, the rest (if any remains) goes in the fridge for my sandwiches the next day.

Well he ate it and it's been almost 9 hours and he's had no ill effects.
He said it tasted good too.
Thanks everyone for your advice,its difficult when you're not a meat/fish eater to know if things will be ok.
Obviously I know the basics,what things should smell like etc but I'm always over careful I suppose since I won't be the one eating it.
I'd never forgive myself if I made anyone ill :rotfl:.
