Personally I'd never risk anything with chicken. They do deferost quicker if you slice or dice them though which is probably no damn help to you at all

Well I certainly wouldn't. Chicken should always be properly defrosted fully

Does your microwave have a defrost setting ?

If so that should be safe enough.

Once done in the microwave if you have a fan assisted oven put them in there with the fan on but with no heat for as long as you can.

chicken breasts will defrost really quickly. 6 minutes on defrost in the microwave will be sufficient

(before I get shot down, 750watt microwave minimum)

Ditto. Just make sure they are piping hot and not pink in the middle before you eat them.

I defrost mine in cold water all the time...I cook them right after they've thawed out enough though.

I'd rather defrost fully in cold water than the micro wave, as will start to cook in parts, but then, that might just be my limited skills with the micro wave, mine is for ready meals only

Thank you everyone,I'm going to risk it in water because I don't like doing it in the micro.

Cheers again.

I was married to a chef and that's how he always defrosted them if needed in a hurry. I defrosted a whole chicken like that at work a few weeks ago and everyone still alive and kicking

If the chicken is cooked properly after it has been defrosted in cold water, then why not?

I do it with lukewarm water to speed up the process myself.

I attended a training course for risk analysis in the food industry, and was surprised to learn that the initial bioburden load of the starting materials is not taken into consideration as long as it is sanitised and/or cooked properly, contrary to what I have learnt from the pharmaceutical industry.

However, I was able to appreciate the rationale behind it as my knowledge and experience in the food industry widened.

ditto. Never cook chicken without a proper defrost
