Yes, but I would not recommend eating it if it has been left unrefrigerated for more than 2 hours.
Reheating it to 165°F will kill vegetative bacterial cells, but it does not mean that the chicken would be safe to eat. Toxins possibly produced by the bacteria might not be destroyed.
Yes, cook to 165 degrees.

Pathogens and spoilage bacteria can grow on deli meat left at room temperature.
Yes, bacteria can grow in cooked rice if it is left at room temperature for an extended period of time. To prevent bacteria growth, it is recommended to store cooked rice in the refrigerator within two hours of cooking and consume it within three to four days. reheating rice to steaming hot before consumption can also kill any bacteria present.
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.
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.
Cooking will kill a lot of vegetative cells, but cooking does not sterilize the food.
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.
No, you shouldn't eat chicken that was unrefrigerated overnight. It has had time for bacteria to grow and could make you very sick.
No, toss it out. It is now teeming with bacteria.
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.
