From what I've read the only correct way to defrost poultry in the fridge - other than low 'defrost' setting microwave. Problem I find with microwave defrost is it can sometimes 'burn' the chicken, making it taste tough.
I tend to freeze & hoard
I'll often buy a 2 or 3Kg lump of Rib Eye steak for example, make some steaks, a roast, and then throw them in the freezer.
Same with chooks, I've always got at least two frozen. Take one out 24 hours before you need it, pop in fridge, job done.
