    Defrosting chicken in microwave


    Source of Recipe


    unknown

    Recipe Introduction


    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 in 8-10 minutes per kilogram ( 3 - 5 minutes per pound ).

    NEVER leave chicken unattended to thaw in the microwave. Turn and separate pieces as the 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.
