0 - Tip: Defrosting Chicken in Microwave
Source of Recipe
Unknown
List of Ingredients
Place FROZEN chicken on microwave rack or trivet so that meat does not sit in thawed juices.
Cover loosely with waxed paper.
Use "defrost" or 50% power to thaw chicken (3 - 5 minutes per pound ).
NEVER leave chicken unattended to thaw in the microwave. Turn & separate pieces as chicken begins to thaw, leaving some space around them to ensure EVEN defrosting.
Whole chicken 35-40 min. 50% power
7-8 pieces 15-18 min. full power
NEVER cover chicken with plastic wrap in the microwave - it will hold in too much moisture causing the chicken to stew and become stringy.
