@brianamestichelli np

I've only ever defrosted in microwave 45 seconds flip 45 seconds .....

You need to look at the duration

Here where I live they say no water no counter only fridge or microwAve

Oohh well this is a good cooking lesson !! Thanks mamas no chicken today !

Not too long defrost it for like a minute n than put it under cold water or juat leave it outside

The risk comes from improper cooking more than how the meat is defrosted. Heating chicken to 165 degrees or higher kills any bacteria.

Yup everyone here is right that shit can get u sick defrost it in ya microwave is like washing ur chixken with hott water and thats a big fat nono

@mimixtmn agreed

@brianamestichelli, you should

Thaw frozen stuff in the fridge or even in a colander with cool water running over it . You shouldn’t thaw food on the counter or outside . Freezing food doesn’t kill bacteria and once it begins to thaw if there is bacteria on it already it will begin to multiply again .

Def not safe, your meat will be a breeding ground for bacteria in those temperatures. You should dethaw in cold water or refrigerator. Heat is not good for thawing meat.

To my knowledge any type of heat even hot water to defrost starts to slowly unevenly cook the meat which isn't good

@momofemersonbliss, I believe the chicken shouldn’t pass 40 degrees and that’s when bacteria can multiply

@brianamestichelli, uneven heating? Salmonella ?

@momofemersonbliss, not safe ?? Ohh why not safe ?

That is not safe

@ella_j_heart, I would think so ! It’s vacuum sealed so it’s not opened at all
