Here's What You Need To Know Before Boiling Frozen Chicken - Tasting Table
Briefly

Boiling chicken may lack glamour, but it's a beneficial method for cooking poultry, particularly when defrosting isn't an option. It's a healthier and hands-off technique that keeps meat moist and juicy. However, safety and uniformity in cooking are paramount. It’s vital to handle frozen meat carefully to prevent bacteria, using cold water for gradual heating for even cooking. Additionally, cooking from frozen takes significantly longer—about 50% more time—so gentle simmering after a boil is key to achieve a safe internal temperature of 165°F.
Boiling chicken, especially from frozen, is healthier and keeps meat juicy if approached carefully to avoid bacterial contamination and ensure even cooking.
Frozen chicken must be handled with caution to prevent bacteria spread; place it in a pot first and fill with cold water for uniform cooking.
