Smell it! If it smells fine, cook it well. If it smells rancid at all, don't eat it; in that case your best bet is to pick up a new one or just roast a chicken.
A 20-pounder would take about 4 to 5 days to thaw in the fridge (but maybe more or less—every fridge is different!), so it's been raw in the fridge for about that long. The smell-test is your best!

I would be wary of using it for food safety reasons.
