If you are asking "Can chicken that has been frozen be defrosted and cooked?" then the answer is yes. If you are asking if chicken that has been frozen, defrosted, refrozen and defrosted again can be cooked than the answer is yes but it's not safe. When you freeze food water crystals expand and damage cells. When you defrost your food, particularly if you leave it on the counter instead of in the fridge bacteria causing microorganisms have the chance to multiple. When you then refreeze it even larger ice crystals are formed destroying even more cell membranes. After this you defrost it again and the microorganisms from before can double. Usually at this point the meat doesn't look or smell so great.

How long does a defrosted turkey have to be cooked?
Poultry, turkey or chicken, is cooked 20 min. per pound. Multiply the number of pounds by 20 min. It is best to only cook defrosted poultry. Semi-frozen poultry will not cook evenly. If cooked for the number hours/min. per pound chances are the interior of a semi- frozen chicken or turkey will still be frozen while the outside is cooked.

Is chicken defrosted to 69 degrees safe to eat?
This will depend on how long the chicken was left at 69 degrees. Ideally the chicken would have been defrosted to only 40-45 degrees then cooked fully to a minimum of 170 degrees. If the chicken has been over 45 degrees for more than a few hours, I would suggest not eating it at all.
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...

Once chicken is defrosted in the refrigerator, it should be cooked within 1-2 days for optimal safety and quality. This is because defrosting allows bacteria to grow more rapidly, increasing the risk of foodborne illness. It is important to store the defrosted chicken in the coldest part of the refrigerator, below 40°F (4°C), to slow bacterial growth. Always follow proper food safety guidelines to ensure the chicken is safe to consume.
