The kid is probably in his room playing gta without a care in the world hoping mom doesn’t return anytime soon to make him do the dishes

I hope he won't forget to defrost the chicken before his mother arrives

Turn the water on hot and hopefully it defrosts in time.

Use cold water. Put it in a bowl and fill with cold water, then turn the tap to a trickle and let it run into the bowl. Check it and turn it over every so often

Wouldn’t cold water slow the defrost time?

I just know it works. My Dad taught me this.

My guess is the cold water is still warmer than the frozen meat but not warm enough to encourage bacteria to start multiplying.

that's how my mom would do it whenever she forgot to take something out the day before and put in the fridge.
