I would give it a sniff. If it smells OK, I'd nuke it and hope for the best.

It will be fine :)

I'd make sure it was really well heated through, but I would eat it, yes.

Eat it! I would. Just heat it well.

Fine if the kitchen is cool.

Fine

Definitely eat it

Thanks all!

Chicken? Not a tiny chance I'd eat it. It's been unrefrigerated all night AND all day, people!

Nope, no way not all day and all night unless it was in proper freezing cold larder.

It will be fine - just heat it thoroughly.

Make sure you heat thoroughly and it will be fine. It's been a pot with a sealed lid & the first time you cooked it would have killed all surface bacteria.

No ways not with chicken!

I am 99% sure you'd be fine, but i'm a right wuss about chicken and probably wouldn't eat it myself. Other meat, fine, but I just worry a lot about chicken

Deffo eat it.

I'd definately eat it, just reheat very well - it should be piping hot and bubbling all the way through - at least ten minutes on full whack in a microwave, or ten minutes once at a high simmer on the hob.

I'm always forgetting to put stuff I have cooked in the fridge, chicken included. Always still eat it or freeze it. It will be fine. Unless your house is heated to subtropical temperatures like some people.

if it had been left overnight, then put in the fridge, no problem. If it was deep winter and there was no heating on all day, also no problem.

I would think twice about this though as it sounds like it has been out almost 24hrs? and if it was left to cool slowly in a warm oven, then left all night and all day, that's not good. Also, you cant just rely on it smelling, especially when there are other flavours in there - it will not automatically reek!

It's fine.
