  • Do not remove chicken from packaging
  • Place the packaged chicken in a bowl.
  • Place the bowl in the bottom compartment of the fridge
  • Leave until it is fully defrosted

To defrost the frozen chicken, place the packaged chicken in the bottom compartment of the fridge, in a bowl large enough to collect juices that may drip. Due care must be taken to avoid contact of these raw meat juices with the other food items or fridge surfaces, as this may contaminate them. Please do not remove the packaging during the defrost process. The thawed chicken can be stored in the fridge for a couple of days before cooking. Although slow, this is the safest method.
