Is it ok to leave chicken at room temp for 24hr to thaw for a dinner?
a question the takes skill to answer :chef:
 
No, room temperature is too warm. It needs to be below 40 F. all of the time up until cooking. (Refrigerator to stove or oven should be less than 20 minutes.)

Do your thawing in the refrigerator.

Even refrigerated I wouldn't let thawed chicken go for more than 2 days without cooking.
 
Nope that is not OK. Keep it out of the danger zone (40-140) as much as possible. Thaw above freezing, but below 40 F.
