I had frozen a large package of chicken breasts (4.5 pounds) I took it out on sunday evening very late and checked it mon morning..it was still frozen solid so I waited til tues...still very frozen but I was able to break it apart and cook about half. Now it is sunday and I was wondering if the rest is still good or should I get rid of it? It is still a pink color, doesnt smell bad...so I really dont know :rolleyes: I am kinda young and new at this cooking thing so I hope this isnt a dumb question! Thanks!
 
Did you thaw it in the fridge? Do you know when the rest actually thawed out? Welcome to DC!

As an aside, once you broke out what you wanted to use, you could have (should have) put the rest back in the freezer in that partially frozen state. For next time.
