Not very long. I wouldn't let it go much beyond an hour or two after it gets to room temperature. Things get ugly real quick and bacteria grows rapidly on chicken. 10 minutes. Seriously, don't thaw your frozen chicken at room temperature. Thaw it in the refrigerator to be safe. If you're going to cook it right away, you can thaw it in the microwave. When chicken thaws at room temperature, nasty bacteria grow on the surface of the meat, while the core is still frozen.
In a refrigerator, a three pound chicken should take about 7 hours to defrost. If you need it faster, then fill a bowl with lukewarm water and dunk the chicken. Replace the water when it gets icy. Repeat as necessary. Never just let it sit on the counter...it gathers bacteria that way.
You should never defrost chicken at room temperature. There are three ways to safely defrost chicken: * In a microwave or better yet a convection oven * In cold running water (even a trickle is enough) * In the fridge Alternatively, in many recipes you can often cook chicken from frozen.

DON'T thaw chicken at room temperature!
Thaw it unwrapped, in a shallow pan under running
cold or cool water.
The preferred and safest method of thawing is in the refrigerator.
This depends on the way you intend to cook the chicken. If you plan to fry it, it should be completely thawed. For baking, you can allow it to thaw in the oven, but be sure to allow extra time in the oven and test the internal temperature to be sure it is done, which should be 165 degrees F. You can also boil chicken from the frozen stage.
Chicken should be thawed under refrigeration. Overnight in the fridge usually works just fine. If it is a large whole chicken taken from a deep freezer, you might need 2 nights.
Thawed (or fresh) raw chicken should be left at room temperature only for the time it takes it to be prepped for cooking - which will likely be under an hour.
2.8 Seconds.
The amount of time it will take to defrost a chicken that weighs 1.5 kg will vary depending on the method you use. If you are using an oven, it will take approximately 30 minutes.
You can keep a chicken defrost for 24 hours. If you want it to last longer, season it with numerous seasonings.
Yes you can but not for to long because the chicken will start to poop
If you defrost chicken in the microwave for too long, it will actually begin to cook. When defrosting chicken in the microwave, it is a good idea to check the progress every five to ten minutes.
i had to defrost the iced chicken.
Defrosting frozen chicken tenders in the microwave is very simple. Take your chicken tenders, put them on a plate in the microwave, and turn it on.
If you put the frozen breasts into a bowl of cool water, it does not take very long for them to thaw. (Less than an hour for two.) Be sure to leave the chicken in its water tight plastic bag, and avoid using hot water. You can thaw them in the fridge in about 12 hrs. Or use the microwave on the defrost setting and it will take about 10-15 minutes.
You should not take risks with chicken, it must be defrosted before it is cooked, you can defrost frozen chicken in a microwave or drop the meat into warm water and leave for at least an hour to defrost, and check they have before you cook them.

I would defrost the chicken breast before baking. Otherwise, the meat may not cook properly throughout the entire piece.
12 hours
Thaw it out in the refrigerator. Overnight should do.
