HazelAnne Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Had chicken in the oven for about 50 minutes…it was still raw when the timer went off. Realized the oven is barely heating up. Would the chicken be safe to eat if I transferred it to a frying pan…or was it in the danger zone too long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Just cook it good and dead. Why fry it? Braise, boil, instant pot, something good and cooked through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazelAnne Posted December 8, 2023 Author Share Posted December 8, 2023 Okay, it’s in the instant pot while I consider if I should eat it or not. (I won’t let the kids, just cause I’m not sure about it). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cook it through in the instant pot, you can shred it and heat it through again with some bbq sauce to get it even more dead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbel Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 USDA says 2 hours at room temp is the limit for raw chicken. So your chicken will be fine. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 I think it would be fine. Think of it as chicken that was only in a slow cooker for an hour. You can't eat it then, but it's fine to finish the cooking and eat it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh good, then I'm not crazy!! Glad you had the facts. 🙂 Life happens and 50 minutes just is not that long. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazelAnne Posted December 8, 2023 Author Share Posted December 8, 2023 Oh- I should add, when I said “barely hearing up”, the oven did get up to around 150 (I have an oven thermometer). So I don’t know if that changes opinions on this- since it wasn’t at room temperature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freesia Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 It’s fine. After two hours at room temp (68) then you’d have a problem. One hour at 150– no problem 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some sites are saying a little higher, but it would be on the low side the first hour as it warms up.

ktgrok Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I'm SUPER cautious about food but it is fine - well within even the most persnickity of food safety guidelines. (and I do adhere to them, except for leftover pizza for some reason - I have this feeling pizza doesn't count, lol) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
