The chicken is plain, no seasoning or marinade.

OH MY GOD!!! THROW IT OUT!!! Haven't you ever heard of salimanilla???? Temperature danger zones for food ESPECIALLY poultry is 40-140 degrees. That means if the bird is stored for more than 2 hours at a temp between 40 and 140 bacteria will grow and breed at an alarming rate!!! Therefore, if eaten, can KILL you!! Cooked or uncooked--GET RID OF THE BIRD!!!

Smell the chicken. If it has a neutral smell, it will more that likely be okay to consume. If smells even a little bad, throw it out.
I have eaten chicken like this, and have never gotten sick.
For all of the germaphobes here, you can kill bacteria by boiling it for 10 minutes. If water boils at 212, then baking the chicken for 10 more minutes at 350 would kill the bacteria.

Yes, you most definitely have to throw it out. You should never eat anything that has been left out even past an hour. Do yourself a favor, throw it away.

I wouldn't take a chance and I would discard the chicken. If your house is cold, it may be ok, but then I wouldn't put it back in the fridge. I would eat it for breakfast, lol. Seriously, I think you should just toss it.

You might be okay, but with chicken it's better not to take the chance. Throw it out.

Dump it. Chicken is prone to growing salmanella germs. You lose what, $5 worth of chicken? A good case of salmanella will cost you lots more in time away from work, medication, doctor's visits. If you feed it to your kids and they get sick, it'll cost you in emotional stress as well.
Dump it now.

I would throw it out. Refrigeration helps retard bacterial growth in food, even if its cooked. You would risk getting a nasty stomach ache, or worse.
Why take chances? Get some more chicken.

Chicken is cheap...I doubt it will hurt you since it was cooked, but I would play it safe and go buy some more chicken

Throw it away. Cooked food can still gather bacteria when left at room temp.
