Cold-Water Thawing. You can also thaw wrapped chicken safely by submerging it in cold water in your sink or a large bowl. Allow about 30 minutes of thawing time for every pound of chicken, changing the water every 30 minutes. See More Tips for Cooking with Chicken.
Don't do it. Nor should you thaw food in hot water. The problem with both of those methods is that the outer layer of the food can sit between the bacteria-breeding temperatures of 40Â°F and 140 Â°F for far too long to be safe.t usually takes an entire day to thaw even a small amount of frozen food, such as a pound of ground meat or boneless chicken breasts. For large items, like a whole turkey or ham, itâll take about 24 hours of defrosting time for every 5 pounds of food. All that waiting does have a payoff, though.
