    if you dont defrost it first you will most likely over cook the outside while the middle will be frozen or undercooked. potentially dangerous for chicken.

    pro tip for fast defrosting? cut it up in smaller pieces, while its frozen. this gives each piece a greater surface area, meaning it will defrost and cook much faster. in this case, baking would be slowest option, i would chop into cubes and pan fry.

    whip up a slice of nice verse pie.

      pro tip for fast defrosting? cut it up in smaller pieces, while its frozen.

      This is also a pro tip for cutting chicken breast into cubes - it’s way easier to do while it’s still partially frozen.

        But how much heatsink? Pea sized is surely a bit small for a whole chicken. Maybe egg sized?

          Lots of thermal paste makes the skin extra crispy, and is a great source of heavy metal toxicity you won’t find in other cooking methods!

      Another pro tip is putting the meat in a ziplock bag and putting it in lukewarm water. It will defrost much quicker than in the ambient air.
