*** Left 3 chicken breasts on the side in water for 9hrs............................

[MagicalMay]

Hi i took 3 chicken breasts out of the freezer 4.30pm friday & poped them in a pan of cold water to defrost quickly. Dinner plans changed and we had a takeaway. Sounds silly but the chicken was moved to a corner in the kitchen and i have only just remembered its there. {Im just locking up to go to bed} So thats 9 hrs its been in water on the side. I have now put the chicken in the fridge in a bowl.
Should i just bin it or do you think it will be ok to cook tomorrow er i mean today - Saturday??? I know you have to be so very careful with chicken.

fine

as long as you're not in the Tropics

We'd eat it. It's hardly been in the sun has it. No animals been licking it? Then get it cooked.

na gonna bit it - just went to cook it and big areas are white.... and just have a funny feeling about it.
Thanks guys

if in doubt throw it out.

i would use it if not in doubt though!
