Methods for Defrosting Chicken

	The safest methods for defrosting chicken are in the microwave, in the refrigerator, and in cold water. If you have the luxury of time, place the chicken on a plate in the refrigerator and defrost overnight. If you need to use your chicken within a few hours, place the chicken in a airtight, zip lock bag and place in a large bowl of cold water. Change the water every half hour to ensure the water stays cold. If you are pressed for time, the microwave is the best option. Microwaves vary and so will results. The microwave can begin to cook the chicken on the outside while the internal portion s remain frozen.
