Cooked chicken is perishable and should not stay at room temperature for many hours. Bacteria can grow even before the chicken looks spoiled.
Reheating can kill some bacteria, but it does not erase every risk from poor storage. That is why overnight chicken is not worth saving.
Refrigerate leftovers in shallow containers soon after eating and use them within a few days.
Cooked chicken left out overnight is a toss it situation. Do not try to rescue it with reheating.
