Defrosting Chicken

[cecil39]

I took a large chicken out of the freezer on Monday thinking to cook it today, but things have changed and I now won't need it till Friday, its been in the extra cold section of the fridge and has still got some ice crystals in it, do you think it will be ok to keep it till Friday?

You know what, all this talk of chicken has really made me want to cook a chicken.

I haven't disappeared, just had things to do, from your assortment of answers, I have decided to cook it tonight so its out on the worktop waiting to go in at 5-30, so on Friday my visitors will have to have chicken curry made from the leftovers.

Sorry, I forgot to say thanks for your answers.

It will begone just make it is well cooked

[murraymints]

Yes ...

[gollob]

If you are using it for a casserole or a slow cooker you do not need to defrost it at all

I wouldn't risk it, gollob, as already stated.
