Once chicken is defrosted in the refrigerator, it should be cooked within 1-2 days for optimal safety and quality. This is because defrosting allows bacteria to grow more rapidly, increasing the risk of foodborne illness. It is important to store the defrosted chicken in the coldest part of the refrigerator, below 40°F (4°C), to slow bacterial growth. Always follow proper food safety guidelines to ensure the chicken is safe to consume.

Can you eat chicken that was cooked and frozen but defrosted and left out on the counter all night?

If where it was left out is as cold as a refrigerator, it would be OK. Otherwise, you will have to figure that out for yourself. The chicken has been mishandled and should not have been left out at room temperature. We don't know what temperature various parts of the chicken reached - or for how long.
