Poster who ate bad lamb here. Glad you made that decision!

OP here. No worries, the chicken got trashed and we had thai delivered. The risk wasn't worth it in this case.

Food safety experts paid to be paranoid. But yeah, chicken out all day is trash. Bummer OP.

Too much food paranoia here.

Just the opposite. DCUM is always recommending eating things that every food safety expert would tell you to toss. The fact that most people on here thinks this needs to go in the trash should tell you a lot.

OP here. Thanks for the input, all. I guess we will toss it. I wanted to wait til the last possible minute to turn it on - lesson learned.

Thanks DH for the suggestions above as well.
