I many people say that even cooked chicken is not supposed to be left out overnight. However, I have left cooked chicken out for 36-48 hours, heated in the microwave (not even hot just warm) and have not had problems. Once in a while I may be on the crappy a little longer than I had hoped, but that's it. If you leave raw chicken out over night, just make sure you cook it fully. Don't have to burn it, just cook it fully. I have left chicken out overnight, decided I didn't want it, refrigerated it for a day then used it the next day. The main think you want to check for it smell and feel. If it smells off don't eat it, if it feels a little slimy just wash it under warm water with your hands to remove and of the juice. If its really sticky and slimy then maybe think twice about using it. Just use your judgement. Like I said, I push the limits on chicken and have never been severely sick, EVER! Cooking it to the proper heat to kill the bacteria is your NUMBER ONE PRIORITY.

∙ 15y agoFoods 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.

Can you cook raw shrimp and raw chicken together?
That would not be a good idea. If you start the chicken first and get it almost completely cooked and then add the shrimp, you would be okay. If you start them at the same time, the shrimp will be terrible overdone and rubbery. If you pull the shrimp out as soon as it is done, it will be contaminated by the still raw chicken.
