Brief Answer:
The shelf life of a fried chicken is long

Detailed Answer:
Hi...
Welcome to the 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I am Dr. Ajeet XXXXXXX

I have gone through your query and here is my opinion.

Fried chicken has a long shelf life.
Properly stored fried chicken can usually be used for 2 to 3 days and the one kept in a deep freezer (in foil or airtight containers) can be used longer.

It is very unlikely that the leftover chicken in the oven has spoiled overnight.
It could be safe to consume.

Hope that I have answered your query.
Stay healthy and stay blessed.
Regards
