Ground Chicken Cooking Guides

Ground chicken is very versatile and can be used as a substitute for ground beef in recipes. It's high in protein and low in fat, making it a healthier alternative to some cuts of red meat. Ground chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165° F.

Weight	Time (Total)	Stove Top Temp	Safe Temp
1 lbs	5-6 mins	Medium Heat	165°F
2 lbs	6-10 mins	Medium Heat	165°F
3 lbs	10-15 mins	Medium Heat	165°F

Note: The above guidelines are only guardrails. Stoves and pans vary; to achieve perfectly cooked ground chicken, choose a big enough pan for the amount of ground chicken and stir every minute.

Q: How do you defrost ground chicken quickly?

Keep frozen ground chicken in Crowd Cow’s vacuum-sealed packaging and place in a bowl of room-temperature water. Depending on the amount of ground chicken, it should defrost within an hour.

Q: Is it better to cook chicken frozen or thawed?

It is safe to cook frozen ground chicken in a pan, but it’ll take about 50% longer than the usual cooking time of thawed ground chicken. For instance, if your recipe calls to cook ground chicken for 10 minutes, frozen ground chicken would take roughly 15 minutes.
