Can you poach a whole chicken frozen?

If you throw a frozen chicken into boiling water it'll be a mess...overcooked on the outside, probably starting to fall apart, and undercooked inside. Start out with just warm or barely hot water; after about a half hour, once the chicken has thawed, crank up the heat. This still isn't idea -- letting it thaw overnight in the fridge or for an hour on the counter is much better for consistency and flavor.

--I've heard you're not supposed to thaw poultry on the counter; in the fridge would be safer.

No. Whole chickens have their giblets inside of them and these need to be removed because usually they are in paper packages.
