i wouldn't be using them at all - that much time at room temp gives far too much time for the nasties to grow on them!

ditch them (do you have a dog or cat??) and start again. maybe get in the habit of setting an alarm on your phone for 15 or 20 mins after cooking is done to chuck them in the fridge so that at least they cool to safe temp if you forget to freeze them that night
Thanks very much for the quick reply BG - Have just bagged the said Chicken and
nipped out to the wheelie bin (the air is Blue at MY costly error) - I think my mother would have agreed with you re. the danger.

As I live in the bush I didn't want to attract any more animals than there already are
so binned the bag.
Yes I am forgetting more often and so I must begin to use an alarm clock from now on.

Kind Regards.
