On the day you want to eat the chicken, that morning, move it from the freezer to the fridge. It will thaw throughout the day in the fridge, but not get below 40 degrees F. That is the key. Bacteria will grow at hotter than 40F (which solved the bacteria part of the equation).
Roughly 2 to 3 hours for a five lb. roast. Thus when thawing a 20 lb. turkey for Thanksgiving, it takes about 2-3 days in the refrigerator but only overnight (12-15 hours) when thawed in a water filled tub. Attempting to thaw a roast while cooking it is not really recommended.aking the above assumption then a five pound roast will actually, because of this changing rate of heat absorption (why the outer edge of meat can be fully cooked and the center frozen), take about 8 to 12 hours to thaw in a refrigerator.
