As Muley said typically 7-10 days answers your question, but there are 3 sanitary ways for defrosting any meat
1. Pulling it out of the freezer 2-3 days before you plan to use it, but try to use it within 10 days of pulling it out of the freezer as the first couple of days is thawing.
2. Make sure it is in a water proof bag and place it in a pot under running COLD water. (Used if the meat isn't thawed out or when you forgot to pul it out.) I like to thaw it partially and then stick it in the fridge as bacteria reproduces itself every 15 minutes. I might have to repeat before using.
3. Used as a last resort, microwave defrost.
