No, unfortunately it would not be safe to do that. The chicken did not reach a temperature to kill off all the bacteria, and some of it would have gotten warm enough to begin reproducing. It won't cool off quick enough in the refrigerator to prevent other bacteria from increasing in numbers either. That the official line, and the safest route to take would be to sacrifice the partially cooked bird to the garbage. That said- I get budget considerations. If I could return home this evening, I'd cook that bird done and eat it tomorrow. Otherwise, I would not risk it.
