How Can I Defrost Chicken Quickly And Safely?
There are three safe ways to defrost chicken quickly: in the refrigerator, in cold water, or in the microwave. To defrost in the refrigerator, place the chicken in a bowl and let it sit in the fridge for 24 hours. To defrost in cold water, place the chicken in a leak-proof bag and submerge it in cold water, changing the water every 30 minutes until it’s thawed. To defrost in the microwave, use the defrost setting and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Never defrost chicken at room temperature, as this can lead to harmful bacteria growth.
