Bacteria can grow, but you said it was cold already and they sat at room temperature!.!.!. so that means they are mostly safe!. If you notice most grocery stores have open air coolers which keep the meat just a little below room temperature!. So that sounds like the state that they were in anyways!. Some people also take out meat and let it thaw at room temperature and then soak it in a marinade and put it back in the fridge!.!.!. Either way you're OK!.!.!. When you cook them thoroughly that kills all the bacteria anyways!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Make sure it reaches a temperature of a hundred degrees CELSIUS (Sorry!.!.!. we don't do farenheit here!.) for at least 10 minutes!. This should kill all the germs or enough to make it safe!.
If it's still cold, I guess it should be okay!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
