Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Thawing at room temperature is not an acceptable method for thawing a small food item such as a chicken breast, as it can allow potentially harmful bacteria to grow on the surface of the food. The best choice for thawing is in a refrigerator, which allows for a slow and safe thawing process. Submerging the food item under cold running water or using a microwave to thaw followed by immediate cooking are also acceptable methods. Thawing as part of the cooking process is only acceptable for larger items such as a whole turkey or roast.
