raw chicken in an "off" crockpot

I put chicken in a crock pot and thought it was on low. It was off. It's been two hours. Do I need to throw out the chicken? It was fairly cold because it was mixed with a cold teriyaki sauce among other things. Thanks!

Can crockpot chicken be made with wet ranch dressing, instead of dry?
