No, there is not chicken to eat in the basement kitchen. Someone put some chicken in the oven and forgot about it. It’s been in there a long time.

Considering there's often extra food left over from board meetings and such, you can understand the confusion.
You know, I've been working in manuscript editorial for close to a year now, and this is the first missing hyphen I've seen that actually affected the meaning of something.
On the other hand, this is not the first time that someone in the office has left food in the oven all day, which makes me wonder whether we should really have access to kitchen appliances, Ivy League intellectual credentials or no.
