Keep tofu or jackfruit in hand. A few nights of tofu or jackfruit instead of chicken will either help them to never forget the chicken or help them to enjoy healthier foods. Either way it's a parenting win.
Punishment through veganism...not a strategy I would have considered before. I like it...
Joke's on dad: I like tofu way more than chicken.

What is TVP?
Growing up in a vegetarian household, I never once had to remember to take the chicken out of the freezer when I got home from school. It was great.
If the ethical, environmental and health benefits aren't enough to convince a family to keep a bag of dehydrated TVP on hand - It's also so much cheaper!
To this day I love tofu, which is unfortunate because tofu does not love me. But just like lactose intolerant people and ice cream, it won't stop me!
I've only had jackfruit a few times, but it was delicious every time
You are either worse than Hitler or an absolute genius. Probably both.
Listen. You being mad is fine. You taking it out on someone who isn't even expected to do their own laundry is something else entirely.
What 14yo isn't already doing their own laundry? That's setting them up for failure/being a pain in the arse to whomever is their future partner.
I had a friend who when we wanted to swim on Sunday at his house and nobody was home, discovered there were no clean towels. He said we couldn’t wash some and therefore couldn’t swim because he “wasn’t allowed to use the laundry machine”. Not like an authoritarian thing, that he never learned how and had broken it before somehow.
If your teenager doesn't know how to take a bag out of one box and put it in another box or scrub the night nut out of his own undershorts you're fucking up.
Yo the number of people in this thread like "How dare you ask your thirteen year old to take a bag out of one box and put it in a different box?"
Seriously. It's a meme, not an E! True holywood story
The plot is already better than anything new I've seen in years.
It would be nice if it made sense, though. There’s not really time from when a kid gets hone from school (4 pm?) and when a parent gets home from work (6 pm?) for chicken to defrost in the refrigerator.
Stick it in the fridge yourself the day before. Stop asking your stupid children to do stuff and getting mad when they screw up. Remember how dumb you were at their age.
I mean don't get upset about it but it's good to give children responsibilities.
Work being oppressive is ultimately the systemic cause of the anger to be aware of.
Yeaaah I'd probably drop it or forget
I'm an adult and I still forget.
In the days of text messaging I don’t know how a kid could forget. It’s “hey kid go do something now”.
Just don't ask your kids to take the chicken out of freezer... just move to the fridge a night before and it's gonna be perfect next afternoon. Slow defrosting keeps the most juice inside and doesn't ruin the texture as much, so it's the best option anyway.
I always just slap the frozen meat into a pan w/ no oil on a burner on max heat. The real life hack is that is doesn’t matter if you take the plastic wrap off, it tastes the same either way.
For your health
Some of us are too inept to think that far ahead so we do the warm water thing. I think all our salmonella poisoning incidents in the last ten years (one or two) have been from costco chicken that was too old.
As a note I'm in the arid California desert. The swamps of Florida might require additional caution.
it doesnt take that long to defrost meat in warm water
But you shouldn't though, you shouldn't allow meat to enter the danger zone (40 °F - 140 °F / 4 °C - 60 °C) while defrosting. The cold meat and warm water yields lukewarm water, and if you let it sit for an hour, that's prime bacteria breeding grounds.
Run the meat over with some cold water and let it sit in a bowl filled with cold water for 30 minutes, and replace the water with new cold water every 30 minutes until defrosted.
The safest way to defrost meat though is in the refrigerator, throw it in there 24-48 hours before you plan on using it and you're golden.
We always just leaving under running water
Kind of a waste of water, though...
Aww the classic "preps didn't prep" method.
Works very well
so do you people not cook your chicken? like i don't give a fuck if it's vaguely unsanitary, i'm gonna fucking cook it and that's going to kill the bacteria.
Killing the bacteria doesn’t solve the problem of bacterial growth. Bacteria can leave toxins which are not destroyed by heat.

If you count the time spent in the ER it does
I just use the defroster setting on my microwave a few minutes before dinner. EZPZ.
