Instruction manual
1
Frozen chicken can be put in the microwave for several minutes. Wrap the meat in a plastic bag or cling film so that it does not splatter the walls of the microwave.
2
Put the chicken in the oven. Select the defrost mode on the panel. Turn the carcass from time to time so that it unfrosts evenly on all sides.
3
If you don’t have a microwave, you can replace it with a mannice or a double boiler. Pour some water into a special container. Put the chicken on the wire rack. Cover and place on medium heat.
4
After a few minutes, when the meat has melted, remove it from the mannica or double boiler. Rinse with warm water. Then cook in your usual way.
5
Chicken can be cooked without prior heat treatment. Pour the meat with cold water and put on a strong fire. Do not miss the moment when the broth boils to remove foam. Then cook until cooked over a low heat.
6
There is another way. Fill the frozen chicken with cold water and place on the stove. Bring to a boil.
7
Then drain the broth. Replace it with clean, warm water. Salt and simmer over low heat. If the foam reappears, remove it with a slotted spoon.
8
To make the broth more flavorful and rich, add a few grains of ground black pepper, zira, a couple of bay leaves, a small onion, garlic and carrots to it. You don’t need to cut and grind anything - throw the vegetables in the whole marmot.
9
As soon as the meat becomes soft, and when piercing, transparent juice will stand out from it, the chicken is boiled. Take it out of the broth and cool a little. Next, cook the chicken according to your own recipe.

Also, for cooking, you can use the miracle of modern kitchen appliances - a slow cooker. True, for this it is better to take frozen chicken not entirely, but its individual parts. For example, ham or filet. Fill them with water and cook in a quenching mode for 30-40 minutes. The meat will be very soft and tender.
