Yes. As long as the chicken has been refrigerated while thawing, to keep the growth of bacteria to a minimum, it should be able to safely be roasted.


Is a safe method for thawing foods?

Food is best thawed in the refrigerator, however, some frozen foods can be safely thawed in a container of running cold water. This will reduce the defrosting time but it is important that the water be cold and running. For this method, the food should be tightly wrapped or frozen in a container so that it is not in direct contact with the water, the water must be constantly circulating around the food so that as the exterior thaws it remains at a safe temperature of 41 degrees or below. Food should never be thawed at room temperature or by using warm or hot water or in a non-running water bath.

How do I defrost a Frozen cooked chicken?

The best way to thaw it out is to thaw it in the refrigerator. You should not just leave it on the counter. You could also defrost it in the microwave. Using a cold water bath could work only if the package is completely sealed. A little water on the meat won't hurt anything. The meat won't absorb the water. It will just evaporate during the reheating. I've thawed whole chickens in cold water. Your raw chicken meat should be washed anyway.

How do you thaw poultry?

Take it out of the freezer side and place it in the refrigerator side. It will thaw in a couple of days. Alternatively place the chicken in connection to the sides of a metal pan or pot. The metal will draw off the cold and the pan will provide chill to the thawed chicken. This method requires your attention. You can't leave it alone while you go to the store or something, temperatures will rise quickly after the bird is thawed. Rising temperatures and raw poultry is a bad thing. Be ready to put the thawed bird in the refrigerator or cook it immediately.


Can I refreeze chicken after it has thawed out in the refrigerator?

You should never refreeze any type of meat or seafood that has thawed - best to cook it and then freeze.Unthawed chicken is frozen chicken. It cannot be refrozen because it has remained frozen. If chicken has been removed from a freezer but has remained hard on the outside, it is still frozen and can be replaced into the freezer without suffering any further damage.


How long does chicken take to defrost?

Not very long. I wouldn't let it go much beyond an hour or two after it gets to room temperature. Things get ugly real quick and bacteria grows rapidly on chicken. 10 minutes. Seriously, don't thaw your frozen chicken at room temperature. Thaw it in the refrigerator to be safe. If you're going to cook it right away, you can thaw it in the microwave. When chicken thaws at room temperature, nasty bacteria grow on the surface of the meat, while the core is still frozen.
