"     &amp;quot;What is the fastest way to thaw a whole chicken or turkey without compromising flavor?&amp;quot; Anna, Madison, WI I prefer to allow myself ample time to defrost a chicken or turkey by placing it in the fridge a few days before I will be cooking it. This way allows the poultry to thaw slowly in a temperature controlled environment. However, when in a hurry I will place the chicken or turkey in a container large enough to hold the bird, and place it in a sink under cold running water until fully thawed. When using this running water method it is very important that the bird remain in its original packaging so that the actual meat does not come into contact with the water in which it is soaking.
