I came home from work- cooked chicken was in a baggie in the frig. Made myself a plate..and being the ADD person that I am, I forgot to put the chicken back in the frig... I think I left it out at around 645 PM..give or take a few minutes. I put it back in at about 820 PM-give or take a few minutes..


. Should I pitch it? I put it into the freezer..it is fully cooked chicken so all of the original bacteria is dead..
What should I do? Should I pitch it? My wife is going to kill me..

Don't be concerned. Just put it in the fridge and go on withn your life. Nothing will harm you ... You have nothing to fear but fear itself.

Sometimes turkey sits out on the Thanksgiving table for longer than that, and I mean way longer, like three hours! We put it back in the fridge and have turkey sandwiches for a week. It'll be fine.

Yeah, it's pretty much fine. Although some places have very tight standards most home cooks don't and have rarely poisoned themselves by eating cooked food that's been on the counter for hours and hours.
