Well all have to take that test when apples are gone :steammocking: cook it and watch just after it is RED , when you see it turn (we timed it at 7 min its safe. To bad you dont have to.

So is it fine to eat after no matter how long ago you cooked it ?

Noo Noo , Gotta keep checking it while you cook it , , If it gets burned youll get sick. Cook it 4 min then keep watching. Youll see the raw icon turn to a cooked one , then immediatly take it off the grill. Then its safe to eat. Be nice if they put ENERGY in the game to say Cooked , But GamesCon and busy schedules , sorry, pleayers must take there chances... i guess

Don't think you understood the question. OP is asking that if they cook a chicken and then leave it in their backpack for x amount of time, will it still be safe to eat.

To answer the question, yes I'm pretty certain that as long as you've cooked it, its fine to eat whenever, even if you cooked it 3 weeks ago.

Here are the answer of all your questions.

(And if its cooked/boiled then yes... its make no different hot/warm or cold) --> maybe in future this are change --> store in cold containers.)

my character has eaten chicken and deer steak days after it was cooked, its fine, no fridge required.

Actualy directly after cooking ^^ your chicken breast can be used as improvised heatpack :).
Same goes for metal objects and magazines (aslong not ruined).

In the future it could happen that if you eat hot chicken , that you burn yourself.
And if you keep hot stuff in your hands without gloves it could cause severe hand burnings and pain. so risk it and be quick with hot items in your hands or get glooves if you dont want to spent minutes for stuff to cool of.

Heaten it isnt enough the texture needs to change.
It need to be cooked until grey or grilled until golden brown.
Dont burn it to black.

Aslong your chickenbreast is Hot you can use it as improvised Heatpack.
There is no mechanic that makes damage for eating to hot stuff,
but at the moment hot food will also help rising your body temperature,
which can be very usefull in very cold and or wet environments.

People can poison foods like flesh but they dont rotten over time.
I hope this helps you survive better in the future.

If you find non canned food on strange places, never eat it. or you risk severe danger of poisoning.

You can eat raw chicken if you directly after eating , eat some charcoal tabs, than you dont get sick in the game, but the meat will give less food values and i have the feeling my char is stuffed longer, one time i needed to make him vomit to rebalance the values.
