Ok, so it's wintertime. It's cold outside and it's good to be warm inside with something good to eat.
The other day I was working at home and there was a chicken in the freezer. I took it out and didn't want to wait all day long for it to thaw before I roasted it. So I ran the water in the kitchen faucet until it was as hot as it could get. I got a big bowl and put that frozen chicken in there still wrapped in the plastic it came in. After an hour or so soaking in that hot water, I could easily get the plastic off. After removing it, I again ran the hot water over the chicken. Another hour, visiting the kitchen I found it was nearly thawed. The third time running the hot water, directly into the cavity of the bird, ti was thawed in no time. So it probably took 2 hours or so, give or take.
