I personally would not eat it. Food left out, unrefrigerated, for more than an hour will start to spoil. Left out overnight, it will have gotten pretty far in that spoiling process. You could probably heat it to beyond recognition to make it safe, but why take the chance? Eat a bowl of cereal instead LOL!!!!!
Did you put it in the refridgerator? If so, yes it will be fine.
why not ! im sure it was left longer b4 u bought it !
I do this all the time. I get a chinese, and eat it the next night and usually again the next day for lunch. As long as it is well covered and refrigerated it is fine to eat. The fact that it is chicken is fine also. Maybe just don't keep it more than 3 days though!
well 2 answers:
1/ try it if you are hungry, and have no money!!
2/ if you have enough money ,then buy something else!!
actually its a stupid question. so many things can make the right answer change
This a rule for all food. NEVER LEAVE FOOD SIT OUT FOR MORE THAN 2 HOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take out is safe for 24 hours if left in it's orginal container in the fridge.
Yeah its fine. My boyfriend does it all the time. Just stick it in the microwave for like a minute and it is back to tasting yummy!.
do not eat it!!! since you left it out overnight! it will make you ill!
no. if it was in the fridge, that would have been ok. if you're a dumpster diver and have built a strong stomach for bacteria infested food, then that's ok too. otherwise your next couple of days will be quite uncomfortable.
yes, it's ok to eat as long as it was in the fridge and not left out all night. I have ate left over chinese food (general tao's chkn).reheat it in the microwave and it's all good.
