Simply put, no. Thaw frozen chicken completely in the refrigerator overnight before smoking or use the quick thaw method. To quick thaw frozen chicken, place the chicken in an airtight bag and squeeze out the air. Submerge the chicken in cold water, changing the water every 20-30 minutes until the chicken is totally thawed. Depending on the cut, it may take an hour or several hours. Weight the chicken down if the package floats. Do not ever thaw frozen chicken on the kitchen counter at room temperature. It's not food safe.
