Left raw chicken on the counter overnight--is it safe?

I left a whole chicken out on the counter overnight, and in the morning it was not that cool to the touch. So definitely out too long. Do you think it would be safe if I took it apart and boiled it? My guess is no, but I thought I'd check.

Yah, very risky. Boiling is not guaranteed to destroy heat-stable enterotoxins.

I wouldn't risk it. I feel your pain since I had to throw a roast out a couple of days ago for the same reason.

I would say no as well, and I'm normally a "nah, it will be fine" kind of person. If it was frozen when you put it out then I would probably be ok with it, since it would have spent a lot of the time still being pretty cold.

Well you can feed it to the dog, raw. If you have one.
