How long do you boil forzen chicken for?

* Food Safety: Boiling frozen chicken from a frozen state doesn't cook it evenly. The outside might reach a safe temperature while the inside remains frozen and potentially unsafe to eat.

* Texture: Boiling frozen chicken can lead to a tough, rubbery texture as the water leaches moisture out of the chicken.

Instead, follow these steps for safe and delicious chicken:

1. Thaw: Always thaw your frozen chicken in the refrigerator overnight or by submerging it in cold water (changing the water every 30 minutes).

2. Cook: After thawing, cook your chicken according to your recipe. For boiling, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil, add the chicken, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for whole chicken or 165°F (74°C) for chicken breasts.

Remember: Using a food thermometer is the only way to ensure your chicken is cooked through and safe to eat.
