How to thaw chicken

Always freeze uncooked chicken if it is not to be used within 2 days.
Chicken should not be thawed on the countertop.
It takes about 24 hours to thaw a 4-pound chicken in the refrigerator. Cut-up parts, 3 to 9 hours.
For quick thawing of raw or cooked chicken use the microwave. Thawing time will vary according to your microwave.
Chicken may also be safely thawed in cold water. Place chicken in its original wrap or watertight plastic bag in cold water. Change water often. It takes about 2 hours to thaw a whole chicken.

Helpful Hint: to cube chicken,refrigerate after cooking. Wait until and gets cold and then it will be so much easier to cut!
