Set the microwave to its âdefrost,â âlowâ or Power 3 setting. Microwave in 30-second increments to thaw a frozen hot dog. Set the microwave timer for 15 to 20 seconds at high power, using the lesser time for high-wattage microwaves. For jumbo hot dogs, start with a cook time of 25 to 30 seconds. Microwave in additional increments of 5 to 10 seconds, if needed, until the hot dog is heated through and steaming. This gradual cooking process reduces the chance of an overheated hot dog exploding in the microwave.
Place frozen chicken in a plastic bag to prevent leaking and put it on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. Cook your chicken 12 to 36 hours after you put it in the fridge. Don't worry if it's still a little frozen; as long as you're cooking on the stove or in the oven, it's not dangerous to cook frozen chicken. However, frozen or partially frozen chicken takes longer to cook. 1  Use a food thermometer while cooking to make sure your chicken dish reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.  You can also marinade chicken while it's thawing in the fridge for a quick, easy boost of flavor.
