Can I keep a piece chicken in my room overnight and eat it in the morning?

 Not unless you keep your room at 40°F (5°C) or below.

We have been trying to imagine any number of scenarios why you can't slip into the kitchen in the morning and quietly take a piece of cooked chicken from the refrigerator and sneak back to your room for a quiet breakfast in bed that's entirely chicken.

Unfortunately, each scenario has a little dorm-sized refrigerator in your room or a super-cold air conditioning setting. In none of those scenarios does the chicken get above 40°F until you're just about ready to eat it. In several, you are shivering like the dickens.
