I obviously appreciate her sending some food my way, but holy shit the amount of food she sent me (both raw ingredients and meals) that straight up stank after I defrosted it, because it had been frozen for years or was bought on clearance and then frozen, is way too damn high.
A cursory Google search says not to do this. I will now stop. Especially since I'm not that great of a cook so maybe undercooking something isn't impossible
Do people "wash chicken"?
Sounds like a way to contaminate the entire kitchen with salmonella water droplets

Sounds like my grandmother.

If it was fully frozen meat leaving it out would probably be fine

Maybe it is 🤔
I'm still alive so it's probably okay hhh
So long as you don't let it sit for long after it defrosted I guess, and it's still cold.
Otherwise it sounds like a recipe for food poisoning, letting the meat sit at room temperature.
Just leave it in the fridge the night before to defrost.
