SHA FOODHAVEN I don’t either. Definitely last resort.
Thanks❤
You're welcome 😊
Waw that's very simple, so nicely explained thanks a lot
Most welcome 😊
My chicken is so frozen the paper is glued to it
you might want to wet the paper so it separates.
Rinse it briefly with warm water & the paper will peel off.
Mines so frozen I took shape of the position it was sitting in the freezer 💀
Mine was too
yeahh i just kept peeling at it until it came off-
Best video, very clearly explained.
Glad it was helpful!
Gracias !!!!! ✌❤
:)
I appreciate you teaching me Spanish no bueno!! Keep doing that so I learn a bit gracias I know that one lol
Look at you go!! :)
You are genius mam.
I had to watch this video because of the lockdown 🌝 I usually buy fresh chicken but i can’t really go out anytime i want to.
Yor recipes look amazing
Thank you so much! I hope to be able to share with you more recipes each week!
I did a little of all three. I had it out on the counter awhile and i hate doing tjat so i put it in fridge
That works too!
Gracias. I had a tone of frozen chicken in the freezer. And got a bunch of fuests unexpected. Watched your video and 👍
Genial!!!!
@@MOMables si. Llegue mis primas. Y yo dine que hago pa comer. Vi tu video y listo 👍gracias.
Ok, this is the first time I'm cooking chicken breast. It's 9:45pm and I just placed two chicken breasts in the fridge (inside closed tupperwear, I hope that's ok cuz i don't have a plate). I'll take them out of the fridge tomorrow around 5pm for dinner. Hopefully it turns out well.
Divorced From Humanity it’s been 3 months. Are you done thawing your chicken?
@@ianmarkmuninio4995 Let me check... j/k. Nah, just before you go to bed, take it from the freezer and put in below, in the fridge. By the time you get home from work/school, it's ready. It's probably ready by lunch really.
damn, dinner at 5pm?
Was it good??
Alright but why is this me rn just at 10:45pm
Does anyone else defrost be leaving the chicken in water for hours till ready? Only issue I’m having is when cooking the inside of the chicken is like soggy? And falls apart like pulled chicken. Why is this happening! Could it be the quality of the chicken or my method in defrosting
Such good and simple info, I subscribed
I came to Sweden recently from India. In India we don't have frozen foods everything available fresh. But here everything is frozen.
Glad you found this video helpful!
Thanks for the video. For method #1, about how many hours is that in the fridge?
It depends on how much chicken you are thawing and where in the frige (the back is always colder). For one pound, about 24 hours, longer if the chicken is frozen in one big clump vs. less if individual pieces.
TYSM 😭😭
You're welcome!
but everybody doesn't have an oven with those fancy weight settings. sometimes its just a defrost button. i put water in the bowl with the chicken to defrost, that keeps one side of the chicken from getting hot and other parts cold.
that's a great tip! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks soo much I’m 15 and my mum flew out to home country so I am cooking chicken Mexicano tacos today 😂😂😂 but thanks
Oooooh hope the tacos are awesome!!!
Me today. And I took it out what I thought was early enough this morning.
I know that feeling!
What is the plastic that you initially put the chicken breasts in and where do you get it? Which store?
Those are single wrapped chicken breasts (Harvestland brand) in the freezer aisle at Walmart.
Love you friend.
Latina Speaker un abrazo Deborah! 😘
And what when you have a MW that's have no weight setting?
I wrap ckn fillets in kitchen roll when defrosting in microwave , it stops them from cooking and only defrosts. actually I do this for most meats
Thanks for the tip!
What I don't like about the microwave method is that...it kind of boils few parts of the meat.. particularly towards the edges (wish there was trick to avoid that)...and if you planned to marinate the meat, then thats a turn off.
So I'm taking my chicken out of my freezer and putting it into my refrigerator do I just let it sit there for 24 hours and then I can just throw it into the oven? And also what good seasoning should I add to it I usually just take it from freezer and put it in the oven but it never taste that good this is my first time
Yes. use any of the 3 methods and then follow a recipe. I'm happy to help with a few recipes! Check out my favorite chicken recipes here: many of them have a viwww.laurafuentes.com/category/recipes/?fwp_dinner=chicken-recipesdeo so you can cook along!
Thank you so much (:
Thanks for that u just saved my stomach i have a bunch of chicken in my freezer im a single 25 y.o. living solo and always thought if you didnt thaw out chicken naturally you could get salmonella
Glad you're still healthy and that the video was helpful. Happy cooking!
No I did remember to put it in the refrigerator and when I woke up this morning it's still frozen, how do you know how much weight chicken you have two legs two thighs equals how much weight
I hate when that happens too! That sounds about 1 to 1.25pounds. Best way is to weigh.
I throw my frozen chicken in my Instant Pot with some chicken broth and poach it. It kills 2 birds with 1 stone! LOL
Great tip for when you want to thaw and cook it plain!
Ewwwwww
what if you have bagged chicken that doesn’t have like a sealed bag covering the breast?
so absurd. never seen chicken packaged like this.. such a waste of plastic
0:36 yep that’s right 👍
🤣🤣🤣
😅 😂
Throw frozen chicken in the crock pot, works great 👍
Tryna do fried chicken at midnight, obvi watching this
You gotta do what you gotta do when that fried chicken craving kicks in...
You have already separated the chicken. What if the chicken jumble together and you only want to thaw only portion of it? Can you thaw and put back the other half back into freezer?
Yes you can actually
Hey guys, Is it alright if I mistakenly(bec. I didn't know) thawed the meat in hot water BUT I COOKED IT RIGHT AWAY though.
~this is my first time cooking meat and I got all nervous when I found out that it shouldn't be thawed in hot water. I hope someone corrects me here respectfully, thank you...
Ellie P. As long as the chicken is cooked fully to 165F you will be fine.
Oh okay, that's a relief. Thank you so much!! 😊👍
You are right hehe I forgot to thaw the chicken for dinner hehe.
Happens to me alllll the time 😂
Wish you put more details and included instructions on how to defrost if the chicken wasn’t in a vacuum plastic bag.
In order to not make the video 20 minutes long, I include a link in the description box that explains more. If it's not in a bag, you can place it in a bag yourself or wrap in plastic wrap.
Please help me out here, I freezed raw chicken like a week ago can I still use it?
If you froze fresh raw chicken a week ago, and you are taking it out today to eat you can thaw/defrost now yes. If you took the frozen chicken out of the freezer a week ago and want to know if you can eat it today, sadly no.
@@MOMablesthanks for the help, the chicken was raw and fresh when I froze it, I cooked it turned out great.
hi, for the second step of running cold water over chicken breast in a bowl, is the sink supposed to be running for the entire 30 minutes? Or just fill to the top and then turn off the sink?
No , it shouldn’t be running
Just fill your bowl with cold water and place your chicken and change the water every 30 minutes to make it thaw faster
fill bowl, wait 30. not the entire time. drain a few times if needed.
I'm watching this because my dang loco grocery store feels the need to deep freeze the chicken so aggravating
I'm glad I could help!
The second one, do I absolutely need the plastic or can I just put the chicken in cold water and nothing funky will happen? Literally experimenting with it right now.
I mean, just make sure you dry the chicken well before cooking
@@MOMables do you clean the frozen chicken breast first before putting it in the individual wrap and thawing?
I do not. It should not be dirty, right? I just thaw, part dry/cean after.
@@MOMables I want to put chicken breast on the grill. I heard you don't need to clean because the fire/heat from the grill will do a better job cleaning the chicken. Is that true?
@@jon5080 chicken does not need to be “cleaned” from the packaging -given its not dirty, fallen to the ground all that.. You might want to trim fat, ends, etc, Pat dry it and season it.
My chicken got warm in the microwave
my microwave dont do that ((
Her skin is beautiful
Thank you!
YOU!
are gorgeous!
Laura Fuentes come to my kitchen !!!
"because you forgot to do that last night" i am like "YUP"
We've all been there! 😊
What if your chicken is not separated into single pieces like you have What if it's clumped up on each other and frozen?
You let it defrost just enough to separate the pieces.
@@MOMables Thanks I defrosted a little bit and then put it in the water and let it soak didn't take hardly any time at all I've already fried it and ate it lol, thanks!
What if i don't have plastic wrapped around it and don't want to rely on plastic?
A glass container will work
My microwave doesn't have the weight defrost option. Probably gonna ruin it but screw it
I hope it goes well!
Damn so you telling me I gotta wait to cook my chicken
If you just can't wait you can do it this way: ruclips.net/video/TivirVyJD1Y/видео.html
Usually if I transfer from the freezer to the fridge it’s still a rock after 24 hrs…
some parts of the fridge are colder than others. This happens to me too sometimes!
24 hours !!!! I have 15 minutes to defrost this chicken
Hey bro hope your chicken came out ok
@@droiddevx03 😂😭
Bruh, I’m like “over night “!?!
Okay the freezer to fridge method does not work. Chicken might as well be ice
It depends on the temperature of your fridge.
the best way is to put in the below the freezer of your refrigerator its safe but very time consuming 😑
Can I just leave the chicken breasts in the packaging when I put it in the fridge?
Yes, you can thaw it out inside the packaging. I buy in bulk so I'm always dividing it up! 🤪
What if you use an air fryer?
Then you'd be cooking your chicken. You can cook the chicken in an airfryer but not frozen. Well, I guess you could but the bottom of airfryer will have a lot of liquid and it will take a bit of time. The internal temperature of the chicken breast must be cooked to 165F to be safe to eat.
Air is a poor conductor of temperature and that is why it takes overnight to thaw. Water is a much better conductor for heating or cooling. Put your chicken in a pan or bowel of cold water and put it in the refrigerator. You can thank me later. 😅
Great Tip!
I put some salt and drain entire water it helps to defrost... 😂

Seems to me the safest way to thaw chicken is the second method of putting chicken in cold water.
Refrigerator or cold water are both great options. Just depends how much time you have!
why cold water and not hot water? wouldn’t hit water be faster?
Faster isn't always safer. Hot water thaws food quickly, but it also raises the temperature past that critical 40-degree mark. Not only does bacteria start to grow, but the meat can start to cook before you want it to.
@@MOMables insightful, appreciate the reply
How do i know the weight of the chicken
It usually will tell you in the package. However, one large chicken breast is about 3/4lb.
What if your microwave doesn’t have the defrost button?
If it doesn’t have the defrost button, I’m not sure you’re able to change the power (reduce it by 50%). Then I would not recommend using it since it only cooks.
How do u defrost chicken which was left in the fridge...yes in the fridge not the freezer.
If it's in the fridge, it should not be frozen.
i just eat it raw like ice.
Same
me here after my dad said to take it out 5 hours ago and he's getting here in 45 minutes:
U kinda cute fr
@@saleem-shady i'm glad lol
october
great month
whos here because you forgot to take out the meat when your mom told you last night 😳
😂
I'm putting it outdoor in the sunlight because its 40 degree Celsius 😂
That's not usually recommended because the heat can grow bacteria. Please make sure to cook it thoroughly.
@@MOMables actually it didn't work, I had to put them in a water for defrost
Wow she looks like that actor on hulk movie with the pit bulls and poodle lol
Not far off
I usually thaw my chicken in the microwave
Glad that works for you
@@MOMables commented this before even watching the vid thinking no one in the world including me does this but Weirdly I’m wrong.
I put my chicken in my stockpot and started boiling them.
thanks for watching!
Why is it bad to let chicken thaw on the counter?
Bacteria growth.
My chicken takes days to thaw in the fridge
Maybe your fridge is too cold.
How did u know😭😭
Cuz it me too! 🙋🏻♀️
you forgot to mention! put the chicken inside a plastic bag before putting in the water. I did it without and now I wasted my chicken.
my mom left me at home age:10 😃
She looks like Demi Moore
Thanks!
@@MOMables you're welcome
are the people making these comments 12-16?
Sauce Boss 🤷🏻♀️
wait guys what if i just want to take one piece of chicken out?
Same process!
My mom is about to pull up and I forgot to take the breast’s out I DO NOT HAVE 2 HOIRS
Quick quick!!!
The first method was insulting haha.
I know. But I have to mention it as it’s the safest method.
