Step 1
Probably the 2 easiest methods would be, first, thawing the chicken in the fridge. To do this, simply put the chicken in the dish, then place it inside the ref overnight, and by the next day around dinnertime, it’ll be ready to cook. The second method is by thawing the chicken in cold water, just put your chicken in a dish, then place it inside the sink, and fill it with cold water. It may take between 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the size and number of the chicken, this method is safer than leaving your chicken on the counter at room temperature.

Step 2
Defrosting your chicken in the microwave is easy and fast especially if you need to cook it immediately, but it needs supervision. First, place the frozen chicken in a microwave-safe dish or plate, then place it in the microwave, and set it to defrost according to the weight of the chicken. Now as it defrosts, make sure to pause it every two minutes or so and turn it to check for progress to prevent it from drying, cooking, and becoming rubbery.
