Will this food be edible?

Not unless you want to get really sick. Sorry.

I was thinking that too. Oh well..

Mmm… breast…

I mean, no, I don’t think so. I wouldn’t risk it.

I think it would depend on how warm your house is and what not. I wouldn’t because I’ve found things left in tupperware/plastic tend to spoil quicker when left out.

Then again- if you like living dangerously and by the seat of your pants (heh heh) then go for it.

I would chalk it up as a loss, though.

I’d eat it….....it’s not like its in a hot area or in direct sunlight or something. And 8 or 9 hours is not an extremely long amount of time. Eat it, eat it, eat it!

Well, I think I’d give it the ol sniff test before I gobbled it down!

If it’s over 42 degrees in your living room, don’t eat it.

I left buffalo chicken wings out for 2 days straight and then ate them for breakfast….no harm done

@deni – You got very lucky. I will say that I’m glad you didn’t get sick – I like you!

@tedibear39 hahahah aaaawwwwwww thank you internet lovin right back at ya :)

Refigerated and then not refrigerated for 8 hrs,anything poultry, is a No No in my book.

Meat stays good at room temperature for 24 hours.

Temp in the dining/living area is in the high 50’s during the day. I’d rather be safe than sorry.

@deni That’s scary.

If it’s cooked food, it will be fine. I’ve left casseroles on the counter overnight and they’ve gone on to lead productive lives in my stomach.

Nine hours at room temperature for chicken? Not a chance. (says the guy who has a Food Safety & Hygeine certificate).

This has answers to the chicken debate.
