Ice-glazed chicken breasts?
Ramon
a hassle to have to plan a day in advance so you can thaw them overnight in
the refridgerator and trying to thaw meat in a microwave usally causes mixed
results with partially cooked areas.
I tried Tyson's frozen and precooked breasts that only take a minute and 45
seconds to heat and they are delicious and super convenient, but a little
pricey for what you get.

I season them with whatever I like. Usually takes
about 5 to 8 minutes to microwave depending on size.
They allways come out juicy for us. Regular oven baking
I always end up getting them dry.

Yes, but you are thawing them first and that is not convenient.

I put them frozen solid into the microwave and
cook for 5 to 8 minutes. I have a 900 watt microwave.
Very rarely do I thaw them before cooking.

I also have a question on the ice glazed chicken breasts. I'm single
but prefer to buy in bulk amounts and store in the deep freezer for
several months. I tend to buy thawed chicken breasts, and wrap
indivdually (using freezer paper). How well do the ice glazed ones
last in the deep freeze (not fridge freezer)? I'm not sure if the ice
glazing is a marketing come on or is it actually fairly effective in
preventing freezer burn?
Thanks

As long as the chicken is wrapped very carefully to avoid air pockets, then the
chicken should last many months when frozen. I have eaten chicken that was in my
freezer for as long as a year. I am single too and I rarely plan meals in advance so
what I do is I defrost frozen chicken and any other items I want in my microwave
oven. I use the defrost setting for two or three minutes at a time and turn the item
over after each period. This works out well and I can usually defrost enough food
for my needs in around five or six minutes.

tossed an ice glazed piece (without wrapping it) into the freezer for
a couple of months, will it get freezer burned?

first....? And inconvenience is relative.

Mmm, chicken boiled in salmonella- infested water. Sounds delish.
Toss the chicken breasts in a pot full of cool water. They'll defrost pretty
fast. Wash, pat dry and cook.

Yes, unless you provide a barrier to keep the moisture from sublimating off. Wrap
tightly in Saran wrap.

minutes. You have to wash them before using anyway. As soon as they're
a bit pliable, continue rinsing under warm running water and they'll
thaw in no time. I do this often.
As far as the microwave is concerned, use a low setting, like 20-30% of
full power, but only for 3-4 minutes, then rinse as described above.
The there's stir fry. If the recipe calls for strips of chicken, the
breasts can be sliced while still frozen (as long as you use an
appropriate knife). The strips then thaw very quickly.
Don't buy those pre-cooked ones. They're a rip.

so here goes....
When doing nothing other than cooking with a few surface spices, I
don't worry about thawing chicken if the pieces aren't stuck together.
Ice glazed usually means they are separate (if they haven't been
through the usual partial thaw & refreeze that we often do on the way
home from grocery shopping). I find that some of the juciest chicken
comes from just throwing solid pieces on to the bbq or into the oven.
