Cooking a whole chicken from frozen

[CatUnderTheStairs]

Any tips. . ?

Err. - don't do it!!

Defrost it first.

Don't

Defrost first

🤮🤮🤮🤮

Defrost it first

Yeah you can’t do that!

Who are you trying to kill? Are you looking for alibis?

You can't. Not even partially frozen. Go and buy something fresh.

You can't do that. The outside will be cooked while the middle is still frozen. Poultry and pork must always be defrosted prior to cooking. If you are in a rush, cut the chicken into 4 with kitchen scissors, then put in cold water for a couple of hours. But still check it is defrosted thoroughly.

Don't!

Well Iceland sell cook frozen chickens.

And I'd go to pizza Express for an alibi.. ..

If Iceland indeed sell cook from frozen whole chickens just follow the instructions...?

Or rather, if they are selling cook from frozen pieces, they're okay...mostly because they're half cooked already when they froze them...

Do not cook a whole chicken from frozen, as others have said, you'll have barely defrosted the middle before the outside is cooked. Assuming you manage to cook all without killing anyone it will be foul.

Follow the instructions on the pack then?

Good luck...

No, really don't OP. Yes, it could kill you. Yes, it could make you very ill indeed. Defrost it. If you can't defrost it in time today have pasta or pizzas - anything- and eat it tomorrow. It's just not worth risking it.

Iceland might sell cooked frozen chickens, but not raw chickens to cook from frozen. Don't do it. You'll end up with severe did poisoning

Food poisoning

Use your defrost setting on your microwave if you have one. Still takes a bit of time but not like waiting all day.

I think defrosting a whole chicken in the microwave would be just as bad as cooking it. If not worse.

Iceland sell chicken portions you can cook from frozen I think. It's not a whole chicken.

As bad a cooking from frozen? We could do a challenge and see who ends up ill. Since I'm already know that it's fine, I'm pretty confident.

I'll give you good odds

Have you a meat thermometer?
I cook a chicken 1.6 kg in a crock pot in the oven for 2.5 hrs last hour lid off.
Instant pot under pressure 65 mins with small cup of stock.

God are you on a death wish? Do not cook poultry from frozen. Defrost it (do not microwave) and then cook.

General consensus seems to be no thoughhh

Yep got an oven thermometer. Would be roasting in oven. Is s crockpot a slow cooker aside thought that was really no gor frozenchickens. It doesn't get hot enough.

I stand corrected. I wouldn't risk it though
