Cooked chicken should not be left unrefrigerated for more than 2 hours. Less time is better. Make that only one hour if the ambient temperature is very warm. If it hasn't been consumed by then, it should be re-heated or refrigerated. It needs to stay out of the temperature danger zone which is 135Â°F to 40Â°F.

Bacteria grow rapidly at temperatures between 40 Â°F and 140 Â°F; cooked chicken should be discarded if left for more than 2 hours at room temperature.  How to tell if cooked chicken is bad? The best way is to smell and look at the chicken: signs of bad chicken are a sour smell and a slimy texture to the cooked chicken; discard any chicken with an off smell or appearance, do not taste the chicken first.
