If we bought a cooked chicken and left it out overnight will it still be okay to eat?

Most food that should be refrigerated like chicken is no good left over night. So the answer is, "No." Do not eat it or serve it again. It should be thrown away.
More informationPotentially hazardous food should not be left at room temperature for more than 2 hours, at which point it should be refrigerated. The less time at room temperature, the better. If you know that the product temperature was in the 140°F to 70°F range for 2 hours or less, then the meat should be OK. If you have no idea how long the food was in that range, then you are putting everyone who eats it at risk for food poisoning.Most pathogenic bacteria thrive at the same temperatures we like. Some of them form toxins that are not destroyed by heating.
People constantly ask for some type of verification that the food they eat will not make them ill. That is nearly impossible to do without bacteriological and chemical tests, so all we can do is provide guidelines, like:
- Handle food in a sanitary manner (wash hands, clean & sanitize food-contact surfaces, protect from cross-contamination, package & store properly)
- Keep potentially hazardous food either hot or cold and cook and reheat thoroughly, and
- Use it within a reasonable time.
In the end, you are responsible for what you feed yourself and your family. This adage has truth to it: When in doubt, throw it out.

∙ 10y agoWhich begs the question, "Is it safe to eat CAFO chicken at all;" but "No," if the kitchen was at 'ambient' temperature, our sources say; although cooked chicken @ 600 is probably fine for 12 hours or more. The 'sniff test' is probably your best guide, as bad chicken will smell like bad chicken--but it may largely come down to how healthy ones immune system is.
