HELP! Frozen chicken

[Bethanial]

OMG. Cheesy mashed potatoes. Now I know what I'm going to do with my left-over (heavenly) cheese sauce



I don't think I can wait until morning for this one.


:runsofftothekitchen:

Please share recipe for "heavenly cheese sauce"

I would just make my potatoes as normal, and stir in shredded cheese (usually cheddar, but whatever I had on hand). I'm VERY interested in cheese sauce!

Noobie, about how long would you let the chicken go on low before deboning it? How do you debone it without burning yourself?

5-10 minutes tops, covered. I multitask in the kitchen, so during that first few minutes I chop up the onion & bell pepper, then pull the chicken out & stick it in the fridge for a minute or just leave it on the counter. While it's cooling off a bit, I mince some garlic & wash & chop up the brocoli (insert whatever veggie in those spots)
Then I debone the chicken, chop it up and finish out the meal. I keep 2 cutting boards so I don't get raw meat juice on my veggies.

But yeah, warm water works too. I don't like putting stuff directly in warm water because it seems to soak some of it up & get watered down flavor. If it's in a ziplock I'll submerge it, but my chicken breasts & ground meats are individually frozen on cookie sheets, then packed in a big ziplock.

Sometimes fish, usually ground meats & anything individually frozen get cooked from frozen. Whole chickens, turkeys, roasts, meatloaves, big stuff like that gets stuck in the fridge for a day or until it thaws.
