Based on my experiences, if you allow the following amount of time(s), the meat should be properly thawed enough to cook.

Whole chicken, 3 pounds: about 24 hours, or 1 day

Whole chicken, 5-6 pounds: about 2 days

Whole chicken, cut up: about 24 hours, or 1 day

Split chicken breasts, or other pieces laid out side by side: about 24 hours, or 1 day

How long does it take to thaw frozen boneless chicken breast?

If you put the frozen breasts into a bowl of cool water, it does not take very long for them to thaw. (Less than an hour for two.) Be sure to leave the chicken in its water tight plastic bag, and avoid using hot water. You can thaw them in the fridge in about 12 hrs. Or use the microwave on the defrost setting and it will take about 10-15 minutes.
