If I took chicken out to defrost on friday.....?!
Answers: and, by mistake, left it in the sink all night friday night, put it back in the fridge on saturday, can I still cook it on monday?
sure do you like food poisioning? make sure you have lots of antacid for when you get home from the hospital
gross go with no
I would say no
IF IT WAS ROOM TEMP WHEN U NOTICED, THEN NO! BUT IF IT WAS STLL CHILLED, THEN YES.
I've done that but on purpose. if it was frozen and it didn't get totally hot!. If it smells good, Cut it up, wash it( I'd even add a drop of dish liquid & bleach! rinse well!!). Drain, dry with towel. Smell again. If it smells even a little funny or is off color just throw it away! If you cook it make dang sure you cook it completely done!
well when you put it back in the fridge on saturday was it still cold? if yes then yea ...do a smell check also if it doesnt smell good definately no
I would.
Overnight defrosting? then you refrigerated it. I would be cooking it today. Wash it thoroughly in cold water inside and out. I wouldn't be worrying about the 'food police'.
I would say no! Defrosting outside of a refrigerator is always risky, and if the temp of the chicken came anywhere near room temp, it's full of nasties!
Food poisoning, here it comes!
Not you can't freeze, defrost, and then chill again. Unless you like spending all night with severe stomach cramps.
It's not worth the $6.00.
If it was still cold when you realized it, and it doesn't smell sour then your probably ok to cook and eat it. Chicken can be stored unfrozen (in a frig) for up to three days.
Check with CDC on food borne pathogens and how long it takes them to become illness causing. I would definately clean the chicken inside and out well with cool water, and cook to the recominded temp for chicken (CDC) for approp amout of time.
Was it in cool/cold water and was it all the way thawed?
