Boiling the chicken will heat the chicken the fastest.

Put the chicken in a large bowl of water. Microwave for several minutes, periodically using a meat thermometer to check both the temperature of the water and the chicken (at its thickest part). Once the chicken has reached 160 degrees F, keep it there for about eight minutes (depending on size and amount of chicken).

You can keep the chicken hot until you are ready to eat by setting the microwave to "Defrost" cycle, zapping the water intermittently and effectively keeping the meat above 160 degrees.

Take this one step further and do the above with vegetables and seasonings and you have a great soup.

Can you cook a frozen whole chicken in the oven?

It is seldom a good idea to put frozen food directly into the oven. What will normally happen is that the outside of the food will get very well done, burnt even, and the center will still be raw. You should thaw poultry before cooking it. The safest way is in the fridge, but if you need to speed things up, running cold (not hot!) water over the bird will thaw it out. You can put it into a sink full of cold water and change it regularly. You can also use the defrost or thaw setting on the microwave, but be sure there aren't any metal parts in the bird!
