Raw chicken should be left out of refrigeration only for the time it takes to get from the grocery store to home (hopefully a very short trip) and for the amount of time it takes to prep it for cooking.

No longer than an hour or so if left out in room temp. Bacteria can start to grow on foods in an hour. Our stomach acids can kill some of these bacteria but not all. Foods should be kept out of the danger zone which is above 45 degrees and below 145 degrees. In this zone foods are perfect for bacteria.

Foods that are left out in room temperature for more than an hour can begin bacteria growth. Our stomach acids can kill some of these bacterias but not all and some can make you very sick. Keep foods OUT of the danger zone- Above 45 degrees and Below 145 degrees. Between these temperatures bacteria lives and breeds on our foods.

Raw chicken can only be left out on the counter for about 10 minutes. This is because raw chicken can attract disease-carrying flies very quickly.

Raw chicken can only sit out a couple hours. After that, bacteria and spores in the air will start to cause the chicken to go bad.
