Correct Answer
A. RefridgeratorExplanation
The correct answer is "Refrigerator." When thawing chicken, it is important to do so at a safe temperature to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. Placing the chicken in the refrigerator allows it to thaw slowly and evenly, maintaining a safe temperature throughout the process. Thawing on the counter or in the freezer can lead to uneven thawing and potentially allow bacteria to multiply, making the chicken unsafe to consume.Rate this question:

What type of water enviornment should you thaw the chicken if needed?
-
Lukewarm
-
Hot

Cold
Correct Answer
A. ColdExplanation
Thawing chicken in a cold water environment is the correct answer because it helps to prevent the growth of bacteria. When chicken is thawed in cold water, it stays at a safe temperature, below 40°F (4°C), which inhibits bacterial growth. Thawing chicken in hot water or lukewarm water can cause the outer layer of the chicken to reach a temperature where bacteria can multiply rapidly. Therefore, thawing chicken in cold water is the safest method to ensure food safety.Rate this question:
