Was it in a chilly bin with ice, or just rolling around in the bag! If it wasnt well chilled all day, I would bin it.

Same here, if its been out of the fridge all day, not worth the risk, throw out.I had food poisoning once from a bought chicken, and it was the worst thing ever, so never take any risks.

I would definitely throw it away.Food poisoning is awful, you don't think you want to die, you really think you are going to.

I am really blazee about expire dates on food. But chicken after a day at the beach, I think that one would be gone.

I would definitely eat it - just scrape the sand away as said above - it will also get rid of all the food poisoning - and you'll be fine :)

Not worth it lol. Elderly Dad had a bad case of salmonella from a cooked chook left out all day. He was crook for weeks. Bin it, and don't give it to the animals either. My wife gets the cooked chooks from the supermarket, but she puts the crock pot on before she leaves home and pops them straight in their till tea time. Anything left gets put in the fridge and used for sammies or casserole the next day. Yum. You can NEVER be too careful with chicken.
