How do you defrost your 1.5kg chicken?

1. Place the frozen chicken in a large bowl or baking dish.

2. Move it to the lowest section of the refrigerator.

3. Allow it to defreeze for 24 hours, changing the water every 4-6 hours to prevent bacterial growth.

4. Once defrosted, cook it immediately or transfer it to the freezer for later use.

For quicker defrosting (6-12 hours)

1. Fill a large bowl with cold water and place the frozen chicken in it.

2. Seal the bowl with plastic wrap to ensure the meat is fully immersed.

3. Change the water every 30-45 minutes to maintain a constant cold temperature.

4. Once defrosted, cook it immediately or place it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before cooking.

*Avoid defrosting your chicken at room temperature*, as this can promote the growth of harmful bacteria.
