No time: A certain amount of bacteria will be present but if you have had raw chicken there may be salmonella already on it, other things might leave e coli if not cleaned well. Cracks in counter tops and cuts in cutting boards are especially bad about holding food which may already be contaminated or get that way in a few hrs. Don't take chances keep both very clean!
