Answer 4

You should never defrost chicken at room temperature. Listeria Bacteria is only put to sleep by freezing and allowing it to defrost at room temperature is going to allow it a serious amount of time at an optimum temperature to multiply Put it in the fridge and allow to defrost at around 4 degrees C. it will take about 24 hours but it is both safer and healthier

  

Answer 5

I'm no expert, but leave the chicken(preferably sealed) in the sink with a little water overnight. That ought to do the trick.

Answer 11

Please do not put it in warm water.

If you are referring to a single portion breast stand in cold water and it should be ready to cook in less than 30minutes.

Answer 12

i fill my sink up with warm water and put the chicken in it. it takes about 3 hours to defrost.do it in the mourning or afternoon if ur having dinner early.

Answer 13

I don't bother thawing them. I drop them straight into a pan of boiling water for 15 minutes - then add as cooked chicken to my recipe. Much safer than defrosting - any bacteria are boiled - and not rampant in your fridge.

Answer 14

Just place it in a bowl of cold water and it will thaw in about 45 minutes to an hour.
