You thought of boiling chicken for dinner, and at the most crucial moment you remembered that you had not taken it out of the freezer. There are several ways to cook chicken meat without waiting for it to melt.
It is necessary
- - hen;
- - onion;
- - unmilled black pepper;
- - zira;
- - carrot;
- - 1-2 cloves of garlic;
- - Bay leaf.
Instructions
Step 1
You can microwave frozen chicken for a few minutes. Wrap the meat in a plastic bag or cling film to keep it from splashing on the microwave.
Step 2
Place the chicken in the oven. Select the defrost mode on the panel. Turn the carcass over from time to time so that it thaws evenly on all sides.
Step 3
If you don't have a microwave, you can replace it with a mantle or double boiler. Pour some water into a special container. Place the chicken on the wire rack. Cover and place over medium heat.
Step 4
After a few minutes, when the meat is melted, remove it from the mantle or double boiler. Rinse with warm water. Then cook in your usual way.
Step 5
Chicken can be cooked without any preliminary heat treatment. Pour cold water over the meat and place over high heat. Do not miss the moment when the broth boils to remove the foam. Then cook until tender over low heat.
Step 6
There is also another way. Pour frozen chicken with cold water and place on the stove. Bring to a boil.
Step 7
Then drain the broth. Replace it with clean warm water. Season with salt and simmer. If foam reappears, remove it with a slotted spoon.
Step 8
To make the broth more aromatic and rich, add a few grains of unmilled black pepper, cumin, a couple of bay leaves, a small onion, garlic and carrots to it. There is no need to cut and chop anything - throw the whole vegetables into the surpa.
Step 9
As soon as the meat becomes soft, and when pierced, clear juice will be released from it - the chicken is cooked. Remove from broth and cool slightly. Next, cook the chicken according to your recipe.
Step 10
Also for cooking, you can use the miracle of modern kitchen technology - a multicooker. True, for this it is better to take frozen chicken not entirely, but its individual parts. For example, hams or fillets. Fill them with water and simmer for 30-40 minutes. The meat will turn out to be very soft and tender.
