Best Answer
Yes, you can safely soak it at room temperature, but why would you? There's no reason not to refrigerate.
Meat is safe for about 2 hours in the temperature danger zone of 40F/4C to 140F/60C. Beyond that, it should be cooked or refrigerated. So, if you do decide to soak at room temperature you should cook or chill it promptly.
