Every home cook has been there, it’s dinner time and you realise the chicken is still frozen solid. Maybe you were supposed to remember, or maybe someone else asked you to do it, but now dinner is delayed, and you’re debating a grocery run or just giving in and getting takeout. It’s a classic mix of forgetfulness and a little bit of shame, and it can throw off even the best dinner plans.
But there are easy ways to stay ahead of the frozen chicken struggle! Try moving the chicken to the fridge to thaw the night before, so it’s ready when you are. Keep your special defrosting bowl front and center on the counter as a reminder to fill it with that chicken. And don’t underestimate the power of a sticky note, pop one on the fridge, freezer, or even on the door before you leave. These simple tricks will help keep your meal plans on track and your kitchen stress-free.
