Why cant a chicken defrost on the bench?
Chicken should never be left out to thaw. It needs to be thawed out in the refrigerator. This is due to the fact that the fridge will keep bacteria from growing. Chicken that is just left out will start to accumulate bacteria that can make a person very ill.
Where does bacteria grow?
Bacteria usually grows in dark, moist, and warm places. It can form also in food or liquids left out to long.
can you reheat chicken that was left in oven overnight?
No, you shouldn't eat chicken that was unrefrigerated overnight. It has had time for bacteria to grow and could make you very sick.
If raw meat is left at room temperture and grows bacteria does cooking it kill the bacteria?
Cooking will kill a lot of vegetative cells, but cooking does not sterilize the food.

Is it ok to put raw chicken back in the freezer after it was left them in the car for days?
No, toss it out. It is now teeming with bacteria.
Would uncooked frozen chicken that was left out for approximately 13 hours be safe to eat after cooking?
It is not safe to eat uncooked frozen chicken that has been left out at room temperature for 13 hours, as it would have entered the temperature danger zone where bacteria can rapidly multiply. Cooking the chicken may not destroy all the harmful bacteria that could have grown on the chicken during that time. It is best to discard it to avoid the risk of foodborne illness.
Will cooking chicken kill bacteria that may have grown when you left chicken out for 2 hours while thawing not cool to touch yet not warm?
Yes, cook to 165 degrees.
Is a whole chicken good after a overnight in the sink?
No I would dispose of it. As it has been left in the open it will be full with bacteria and therefore it would be unsafe to eat.
How long can you keep frozen thawed cooked chick in the refrigerator?
Im quite fussy when it comes to eating poultry and I would say that 3 days is long enough to keep cooked chicken in the freezer once it has been opened anyway. It is the same if you take an uncooked chicken out the freezer and cook it then you can keep the left over chicken in the freezer for a maximum of three days. You have to be really careful with poultry as bacteria grows on it really fast and it is also better to defrost chicken in the fridge rather than at room temperature which was unknown to me until I completed a food hygiene course and they said that room temp is the best temp for bacteria to grow!!
How long can raw chicken be left in the trunk of a car?
How long raw chicken can be left in the trunk of the car depends on how cold the chicken is to start with and the temperature in the trunk of the car. From the store to home should take no more than 20 minutes. If it takes longer than that, bring along a cooler with ice and place the chicken in that. The warmer the chicken gets - or the longer the chicken stays warm - the more bacteria will grow and the chicken will spoil more quickly.
