[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would cook the sausage and the chicken. Freezing the raw chicken then thawing ...um. Kill off the germs by cooking then use later. [/quote] This. Freezing may slow but doesn't stop bacterial growth. Heat will. If you put them straight to the freezer, no problem. But after 1.5 hours at room temp, the bacteria that are on literally everything have had time to reproduce on your food. If you freeze them now, you're freezing that many more bacteria, which will reproduce more slowly in the freezer, and then again as the meat thaws. Chicken tenders are a processed cut (touched by gloved hands, a knife, etc.). Ground meat is especially bacteria prone. Best course would be to cook the sausage and the chicken. Bacon will be fine, due to the preservatives.[/quote]
