by placing it in a ziploc bag and running it under running water is really fast!!

put it in the fridge instead of the freezer the night before you wish to cook it.
or, just go vegan then you won't have these problems...

You were close. To avoid wasting water, fill up a big bowl with hot water, put said chicken/ziplock in the water, and put a heavy weight on top to keep it submerged.

not bad. although, i would fear that the hot water might cook the chicken. i'll try that with cold water next time.

When I worked in a kitchen I was taught to only use cold water. So you could put the bag of chicken in cold water, but I say go with the fridge the day before, or just thaw it in the shower while your showering.

Under running water? Why wouldn't you just fill the sink up with warm water and let it sit?

Actually I heard that putting any raw meat under hot or warm water can make the bacteria stronger.... So just use cold water. Place the chicken in a large pot filled with cold water (NOT TOO COLD) and just replace the water every 30 minutes....

obv showers with chicken is the soundest advice.

oh contraire, putting the chicken in the frig a couple of days before you cook it is the soundest advice. You use the btu's you would otherwise have wasted by running it under the water. Also you would save water.
Besides, showering with it sounds so freaking wack. I would be worried about bacteria from the bird infecting the shower too.

That's how I do it all the time.
Another thing I do is separate chicken pieces into portions I wish to eat at a single time.
If I just want two drumsticks, or some thigh sections, two of those pieces will thaw quicker than an entire pack that was kept frozen.
