Cooking WWYD

joyfullyfound · May 2013

I was going to make chicken for dinner, but I forgot to take it out of the freezer until 10:00-ish. It's now 2:30, and there isn't enough time for it to defrost by itself before I'll want to cook it at 4:00. I'm craving the chicken tonight, but I don't want to ruin it in the microwave.

WWYD -

1) Defrost the chicken in the microwave. If so, how? Really low, right? I've never had it work out well.... what do you do that works?

2) Move to dinner option #2, and come back to the chicken on Wednesday.

Could you put thaw it in a pan of water?

I've been known to do this or running water.

Just put the chicken in a bowl of warm water.

The running water is actually a better option (per food safety training at various restaurants).
