Some people toss frozen chicken in the microwave. Don’t do this.
Microwaves cook unevenly. You’ll get hot spots that partially cook the meat, leaving cold, bacteria-friendly zones.
The result? A rubbery texture and a potential ticket to food poisoning town. Not fun.
If you must use a microwave, do it only to partially thaw the bird, then finish it in the oven. But honestly? Save yourself the stress.
