I planned a roast chicken for dinner tonight. My friend called this morning to go shopping with her but I hesitated because it was the only real block of time I had to do the chicken. It was 7 pounds and I figured about two hours, unstuffed.

My friend said, Oh, I'll be home later, I'll cook it for you. So I go over after my first part time job is over. It's been in the oven for two and a half hours and it's not done. Now, she cooks it different than I do - puts foil on it and turns it up side down in the pan.

Now, I'm in a panic. I run home and throw it in my oven but I only had twenty minutes because I have to get to part time job #2.

The meat thermometer reads 160. I take it out, wrap it and put it in my refridge.

My question is - should I go home and finish cooking it or will we all die of food poisioning and I should throw it out??

I love roast chicken because it's so darn easy. Never thought one would give me so much trouble!! :blush:
 
I'm not an expert, but with the chicken coming directly from the oven into the refrig. it might be spoiled or such.
