Sanitize all surfaces that came into contact with the water splash. Wash your hands with warm soapy water. Following your microwave manual's defrost instructions, thaw only a few portions at a time on a microwaveable plate covered with plastic wrap. Rotate plate one-quarter turn 4 times during the defrost cycle, checking portions before each rotation. Turn portions over and re-cover with plastic wrap halfway through the defrost cycle.
Microwave ovens vary.
Defrosting times are approximate. Some microwaves may defrost faster than others. Chicken may be defrosted in cold water in its airtight packaging or in a leakproof bag. Submerge the cut-up portions in cold water, changing the water every 30 minutes to be sure it stays cold. Most products will be thawed within two hours.
