I am uncertain about the wisdom of an instruction in Mr. Richard Grausman's book "At Home With the French Classics." In his recipe for Roast Stuffed Chicken with Truffles, he suggests that the chicken may be truffled one to two days in advance and then refrigerated. If this is done, he instructs, the chicken must then be brought to room temperature before proceeding with the stuffing and roasting.
Is there any danger in leaving a 5-pound chicken sitting out long enough to reach room temperature? I assume Mr. Grausman has used this method without ill effects, but it just seemed a little, well, icky to me. Any thoughts?
