On Frozen Poultry

I am not a fan of birds in two states: alive and frozen. I have an unfortunate history with both. More on living birds later, today I had a run in with the frozen variety.

Today's lesson - do not try to remove the giblets from a chicken that is frozen solid. Do not boil the chicken in an attempt to thaw it. Do not try to remove a boiling chicken by grabbing the legs with your hands and lifting. Do not stick your hand into a bird that has been sitting in boiling hot water. Do not plop frozen birds into boiling water.

Do exercise forethought, patience, or at least buy pre-cooked rotisserie chicken.
