Sorry - another would you eat or chuck thread!

So I put some chicken thighs out on the side to start defrosting (our freezer is insane and they were so frozen they were in a block) and meant to shove them in the fridge an hour later, and completely forgot about them till this morning.

To make it worse they were under the boiler all night!

They were still frozen in the middle, but the outsides were room temperature when I got to them.

I need to chuck the bloody things don't I?

I have a fairly laissez-faire approach to food hygiene (I don't believe in best before dates, for example), but the two things I wouldn't mess with are chicken or pate.

These are for the bin, I'm afraid.

Yeah if they've been room temp for quite a long time I'd probably chuck them too. I've had campylobacter before and was pooing and spewing for a week. Is not worth it!

I'm pretty lax too but definitely not room temp chicken!
