I just ate some tasty chicken that I accidently left in the oven for 24 hours. Should I have eaten that chicken that was left in the oven for 24 hours ?.
Also will I now die ?, and should I go to hospital ?,
Thanks OzBargain, that is all.

Quality Seinfeld reference!
…. cooked chicken left at room temp for 24hrs?
Nice knowing you OP.
Here's a link that might help:

You better go to the hospital and ask them
Worst advice ever. ED is for emergencies not for germophobes or anticipating a diarrhoea
….. but he said "hospital", not the ED…
Hmmm lets see what part of the hospital is open for these kind of outpatients?
@pao2x: Honest question, I've never really just rocked up to a hospital - is there not a general admissions / clinic where you just see someone who's basically a GP?
@HighAndDry: no, that is what GPs and home doctors are for.
Hospitals are for emergencies and medical conditions needing high level care.
Everyone gets triaged… probably a joke but that also includes the Mental health ward.
@HippoHop: Ah, it only exists at some hospitals, like:
http://health.act.gov.au/public-information/consumers/health…
Which, ironically, says precisely:
The Walk-in Centre at Canberra Hospital was designed to take some of the pressure off the busy Emergency Department by providing an alternative for fast access to health advice and one-off treatment for minor illnesses and injuries.
It also has apparently since closed after other community health centres opened nearby, but these exist at some places.
Yea if only these would decrease so much pressure off EDs. MH patients still have to rock up to ED unless ordered for treatment by a clinician then they come anywhere from voluntarily to a paddy wagon straight in
@ChillBro:
Umm, no, just no.
I may come across as overly sensitive, but c'mon Australia, let's work as a society to not demean mental health issues and people who have them.Very rarely and I have not done it for years since I went to another dept.
My eyes would roll out of their sockets from seeing too much of these kind of presentations.Needless to say they would not be high on the priority category list and if it's busy they would wait for hours and hours and then they become the "complaining" ones.
Not just diarrhoea.. But a veritable double-ended fountain
ED is for emergencies not for germophobes or anticipating a diarrhoea
Or silly thread starter trolls …
It's probably fine
I feel like this must be one of the most common "famous last words"….
I wonder how many ozbargainers die because they were trying to save money
Also. Stomach is fine
My parents brought the food handling standards from a SE asian country over here, so I ate like that (and worse) all throughout my childhood. I still do sometimes now.
I'm still alive and also a member of OzB.
I'm still alive
Good point.
and also a member of OzB
Ah, at the cost of life-long debilitating condition.
One of the reasons people are shorter there is from chronic low-level gut infection leading to poor nutrition in early childhood.
There are other consequences too. Not a laughing matter.Curious to know more if you could elaborate on the last point.
Did it smell bad? Chicken that has gone off smells like amonia. I defrosted some once and was so disgusted by the smell, I couldn't eat meat for a month afterwards.
If you are not feeling sick I wouldn't stress.
I'm still alive and kicking so I think I'm going to survive. The chicken was marinated wings so I think that masked any smell.
i would go to hospital unless I was really sick first. Best not to waste the drs time
It will do you good to train your stomach.
I'm not proud of it (actually, I kinda am, hence I'm posting it) but I have eaten way worse and on a regular and ongoing basis.
I hate packing food into the fridge and then having more to clean up, and food that's harder to heat up. So I just leave my leftovers on the bench.
Still alive.
24 hours is perfectly fine, taste wise probably not.
OP said it was tasty. So double win
Drink a lot of alcohol, alcohol will kill the bacteria. Also, fun.
This has never failed me. I brushed my teeth with beer when I was in India (water dodgy AF).
Would think that your body would start fighting any contaminants after a few hours. Your stomach would start to ache. Would think of doctors or hospital then. Just a really dumb food health thing here. Thanks for sharing. If your in a colder climate though you might be borderline as its colder in the southern states.
The first question is whether you fall into a risk category like a pregnant woman, diabetic old man, child or whatever.
If you are a healthy middle aged man, watch 3 episodes of Walker Texas Ranger and you're good.
I do not think you understand the meaning of contaminated chicken, contaminated chicken is when you cook chicken and it comes in contact with other raw chicken, it has nothing to do with leaving it in your oven for 24 hours.
Are you sure about that? I'd have thought it was fair to say that if you leave chicken out for 24 hours it will become contaminated with bacteria??
I think you're just listing an alternate, and irrelevant to this conversation, method of contaminating chicken??
I'm happy to be educated if I'm wrong too. :)
I reckon you're prob ok, just monitor ongoing and if you do get crook get lots of rest and fluids. Grab some hydralyte (https://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/buy/53174/Hydralyte-Powd…) now, if you're feeling ok, in case you vomit and you can always use it again later on anyway. People lose lots of fluids when they're vomiting or diarrhoea.
Also will I now die ?
I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.
Op not replying, so one must assume they're curledup in the corner of a bathroom, crying to soothe themselves.
Good luck op
Was the chicken cooked?
I understand why people post these types of questions to online strangers for the fear of ridicule if they actually asked the same question to someone they know. :)
Why all the spaces before the question marks?
You will be fine
Phone is fine
Chicken is fine
OP has not responded for 4 hours, I think we should brace for the worst.
Alert the police, we have killer chicken out there unless the OP polished the entire thing off.
Killer Fried Chicken.
RIP OP
Does it matter? you ate it now
Lol you'll be fine, or you'll have a bit of food poisoning. Probs not. Dont do it again. Thank goodness it's winter hey.
raw chicken = probable salmonella.
cooked chicken left out = maybe upset stomach.I'll fix this for you, only 16% of chickens even have Salmonella in the first place let alone at dangerous levels.
raw chicken = maybe salmonella
cooked chicken left out = unlikely upset stomach
Luckily you didn't eat it raw. Just let a friend know and get them to check in on you
What did the chicken say when you asked it??
So OP, is it Tasty or Nasty? Could be a mistypo up there.
Don't feed the troll
They already ate dodgy chicken
hahahaha
If the chicken is cooked thoroughly and does not get in contact with raw meat it will be fine for 2-3 days at room temp. Tried and tested and it’s all about bacterial contamination after cooking. If you wrap it in cling or foil it’s not going to go off for days. Cooking must be thorough tho so no blood in meat. Cheers
If you wrap it in cling or foil it’s not going to go off for days.
To be sterile, it needs to be cooked in a sealed container, and stay sealed.
With cling or foil, bacteria will get to the chicken, it is a question of what sort.Dried meat, such as crispy skin chicken, has a much higher chance of being safe than moist, basted rotisserie chicken, which is a perfect culture medium for all sorts of bugs. Fortunately, most bacteria do not make us violently ill like salmonella does.
Rip op, your already dead and don't know it. Looking forward to your next post……….
'Also will I now die ?, and should I go to hospital ?,"
Yes, But there is no ETA yet. Try to focus your mind and say AUM AUM AUM so that your final moments will lead to a better future life with freshly cooked chickens and less mental diarrhoea
op is the reason we have warning labels on products
Also will I now die ?,
No, you will not die. You shall already be dead by the time you read this post. RIP . Tombstone sponsored by KFC and Red Rooster . if only you'd gone for take away chicken dinner
OP you'll be right; once, at band camp, I ate a chick that was 33 years old…
Were you ok?
Yeah, I had some hair in my food, but lived to tell the tale…
Btw, are you the OCAU adamadam?
what doesnt kill you will make you weaker
The fact you still have time to actually post and ask this. I think you are OK. lol.
Anyone got a link for cheap air freshener and Mylanta/De-Gas?
Op, if it’s been a cold night and day esp like my house you might be ok!
so, what's the verdict?
i once had duck for dinner and left the leftovers out on my table overnight. had it again for breakfast, got sick and vomited 30mins later.
so i think youre already a corpse
Interested to see how this goes.
With cooked food it shouldn't be so bad, and with this weather it would take a while for the food to start going off. 24 hours is a long time however so who knows.
I thought OP was going to be this person…
