I heard that cooking frozen chicken never reaches the required temperature to kill bacteria. Rather defrost in the microwave or the fridge. Never defrost in the sink or on a kitchen counter because of salmonella risk.

Depends how you want to cook it, if the cooking method is so slow that it thaws out the chicken first such as steaming or boiling then yes, if however you want to spit roast, grill, fry or bbq etc, then you must thaw it first.

It should be thawed first (especially if it has a giblet package inside of it!)

If you need it to thaw quickly, you can put it in a sink of lukewarm water (leave it in the package or wrap it in something water-tight).

Of course you can BUT you need to keep them to the edges, away from flame and the hottest part of the grill until they can thaw more. You don't want to dry the outside before you can cook the inside. You may need a mist bottle to spray the chicken to prevent drying. Always watch the juices coming from what you have on the grill. With Chicken and pork you will want to cook them until you no longer see red or pink juices running. If you are not sure take a fork or knife to the largest piece and pry into the center to see if it is done. Usually partially thawed will take a good 45 minutes or more to cook. I always put them on a plate and cover with foil right after taking them off the grill. You will find the natural juices remain on the plate with the meat.

Grilling partially thawed chicken works great with boneless breasts. It allows you to keep the inside nice and moist wile getting good color on the outside. I like to baste the outside with BBQ sauce and add more when it thickens and caramelizes the sugars in the sauce.

If you throw frozen meat on the grill you'll likely end up with something that cooks on the outside but doesn't get done in the middle and by the time you finally get the middle cooked through the outside will be over-done. Try taking the chicken and placing it in a ziploc bag and placing it in a pot of hot water in the sink. Change the water out about every 10 minutes or so when it cools off. In 30 minutes your chicken should be ready to go (or close to it). Otherwise take advantage of the defrost setting on your microwave but be careful as that can actually start to cook the chicken.

Baking a frozen chicken is not advisable, as the outside will likely char before the inside is fully cooked.

It is not a good idea to grill frozen meats. The outside will thaw and cook, but the center can still be frozen. It is better to thaw the meat before grilling.

Yes, you can freeze grilled chicken. To use, thaw it out in the refrigerator and then warm it in the oven.

You can grill them only if they are thawed first. Chicken is one of those meats that have to be cooked through.
