Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Oh, I love fried rice, and make a pretty kick ass one (the secret is to crack an egg into it). Other than the health factor, I also think a gently flavoured white rice would go better with the chicken.<BR/><BR/>I love making drinks almost as much as I love cooking. It's the same concept, only there's more booze involved!<BR/><BR/>Heh, spend time with real people, it's healthier for you.

Stick it in the fridge a day or so before. If it's just a breast or similar (or any other hunk of meat for that matter - steak, pork chop, sausage), I use my oven.<BR/><BR/>I preheat to around 225-250 F, put in the frozen chicken on a piece of foil (a baking sheet gets too hot and cooks the meat), TURN OFF THE OVEN, and leave it in for 10-25 minutes depending on how thick it is, what I'm planning to do with it, etc.. While it's thawing, I'll prep everything else.<BR/><BR/>I find microwaves are tricky and I tend to cook the edges while the centre stays frozen. I find the oven much more even.<BR/><BR/>As for rice cookers. Since I'm seldom making more than one serving of rice, and those are only every few weeks, I don't see it as a worthwhile purchase for me. A pot, water and time works just fine for my needs.Astinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04349033187012323688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30420753.post-41370309746728106882007-07-13T15:53:00.000-04:002007-07-13T15:53:00.000-04:00What's the best way to thaw chicken in a short tim...What's the best way to thaw chicken in a short time? Microwave or just start cooking it? <BR/><BR/>I'm all about using the rice cooker for steamed rice.
