Yes, as long as it was properly cooked first. For example, if you want to pack leftover chicken for lunch and take it out of the fridge, then let it come to room temp, you'll be fine as long as the weather isn't extreme and you eat it within about 4 hours.

Can you refreeze chicken thats been thawed in water?

It isn't generally safe to refreeze raw food. This is especially true for chicken, which is contaminated with salmonella at scary-high rates. If the chicken has thawed, it isn't generally safe to refreeze it and eat it later. This is especially true if it is thawed in room-temperature water rather than being thawed in the refrigerator. Once thawed, the chicken should be cooked fairly quickly. Once cooked, it can then be frozen for later consumption.
