Defrosting chicken intelligently: easy as ABC!

Freezing fresh chicken is incredibly convenient, if only to always have some at hand. But you must remember a few things: for food safety reasons, it is not recommended to defrost chicken at room temperature.

Choose one the following three defrosting methods instead.

In the refrigerator

• Leave in original packaging.

• Make sure to place it in a tray to collect the juices.

• Estimate 10 hours per kilogram.

In cold water

• Leave it in its original packaging.

• Submerge in cold water.

• Change the water often.

• Estimate 2 hours per kilogram.

• Cook within 24 hours, at the most.

In a microwave oven

• Use a microwave oven to begin the defrosting process, then finish in the refrigerator. When the meat is entirely defrosted in a microwave oven, you will often notice that it has partly started to cook. Follow indications in the user’s guide for your appliance for cooking times and power.
