Question

Can you fry frozen chicken, or does it have to be thawed?

Answer 1

it should be thawed because a frozen chicken has water and water and grease don't mix...

Answer 2

Yes.

Just cook it longer.

The outside will be overdone but who cares?

Or you could just nuke it to thaw.

Answer 3

You can, you just have to fry it a lot slower, or use shake and bake and do it in the oven.  I often bake my chicken from frozen.  I usually buy my chicken already fried because I don't have much luck with fried chicken.

Answer 4

I remember when I was a child of about 9 yrs of age, I wanted to surprise my mother and show her that I was a big girl. So I decided to fry chicken like I had watched her do, the only problem was I didn't thaw it out. As it hit the hot oil and began to thaw,(the water from it being frozen caused this) the oil started popping and splattering and I was afraid to get to close to the stove so I ended up crying for my big brother. We both got popped by the hot oil many times.

Answer 5

Thaw it or youll ruin the meat.

Answer 6

Cooking any meat frozen will sieze up, making it dry, especially on high heat. Besides I think frozen + hot oil  = major splattering.

Answer 7

it most definatley has to be thawed.

Answer 9

It depends on the cut of the meat... thin cuts may not need to be thawed.  But, as a rule, I would thaw it out before frying.
