Oscar J,
Chicken is something you do not want to play with.
Rule of thumb is no longer then 2 hours out of refrigerator, for poultry,pork ,& fish. I know people leave turkey out for hours on Thanksgiving, I wonder how many go to the hospital for that should cause food poisoning. Let me check out my facts, here you go.
Mayo clinic says :Prepared salads (egg, tuna, chicken, potato and macaroni), cream sauces, and cream-filled pastries and pies Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus Abdominal cramps, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, fever, headache and weakness Don't leave high-risk foods at room temperature for more than two hours, or above 90 F for more than one hour.
