Chicken left out overnight.

I set some frozen chicken breast out around 8:30 pm last night, forgot about it and fell asleep. I woke up and put them the fridge at 7 am.
Would you cook and eat or throw away.
Google says two hours and toss

Chicken is pretty inexpensive. I wouldn't think twice about throwing it out. Can't risk it.

I’d throw it out. Chicken is cheap and easily replaced. Had a bout of food poisoning in the middle of hurricane Gustave caused by chicken. Lost 7 lbs in four days. It was an awfulness I never wish to revisit.

I'd toss it. Chicken is relatively cheap.

I assume that's for refrigerated not frozen.

toss...not worth the chance

Salmonella can’t be cooked out. The toxin is temperature stable to over 1000 degrees. Toss it.

Toss it. Not worth the risk.

You're way incorrect here.

was it still frozen at all when you put it in the fridge?

Of course you throw it out

Incorrect. A big percentage of raw chicken we buy has salmonella. Cooking chicken to 165 (or lesser temp for more time) will kill it.
I'm not saying he should cook that rotten chicken he left out. I'm just saying that fresh as a daisy chicken right out of the refrigerator is often contaminated with salmonella, and we routinely kill it by cooking.

That depends. According to your timeline, the chicken was without temperature control for 11.5 hours. You stated it was frozen so first I would take internal and external temperature readings.
Since it was frozen, if the internal temp was below 41°F & the external temp was below 70°F, I'd probably cook it.

No I’m not. IF the chicken is held below the danger zone (below 40* F) then it’s not multiplying or producing toxin.
If Raw Chicken is left out for enough time between 40 and 140 Fahrenheit, the “danger zone” then the salmonella bacteria is active and producing toxin. Yes, the bacteria itself will die when you cook it, but the toxin that makes you ill will not be destroyed at normal cooking temperatures.
In Salmonella, it’s the toxin that gets you sick, not the bacteria.
Ecoli works differently, where it’s the actual bacteria that gets you sick.

I'm not getting the bloody puking shits (that's my new band name, by the way) for a $0.79 a pound. Throw it out.

You got it backwards.
Salmonella spp. is a foodborne bacteria that causes infections. You get sick from eating food contaminated with salmonella spp. that has not been cooked correctly.
Shiga toxin producing enterohemorragic Escherichia coli creates a toxin which, if ingested, leads to toxic mediated infection.
