Before preparing any frozen chicken dish, be sure to defrost it. How you defrost the whole chicken affects the flavor and tenderness of the meat. Defrosting chicken too quickly can lead to loss of flavor and even spoilage of the product.
Instructions
Step 1
If you have enough time, defrost the chicken naturally. So all vitamins and maximum taste will be preserved in it.
Step 2
You can defrost chicken in the microwave: there are special programs for this. After defrosting for 2 minutes, turn the chicken over and turn it back on.
Step 3
You can also defrost chicken right in the refrigerator. If you put the meat on the bottom shelf and time it correctly, you can achieve complete defrosting by the beginning of the cooking process. Defrosting can take from 3 to 24 hours, depending on the weight of the meat to be defrosted.
Step 4
There is also such a way to defrost: put the chicken in a saucepan and place it under running water. The time for such defrosting is calculated as follows: 1 kg - 1 hour.
