Is it safe to cook chicken before it is completely defrosted?
Yes it is safe to cook a partially defrosted chicken if the entire chicken gets cooked; which will take longer if the center is still frozen when you start cooking it compared to the time it would take if the chicken was raw or completely defrosted. The primary concerns you have with chicken are campylobacter (bacteria) which are not rendered harmless until they have experienced 68°C (155°F) for at least a few minutes. It's always safer to completely defrost before cooking, unless you enjoys taking risks with your health...
