Yes, you can... BUT keep in mind that there are many types of bacteria growing on it. Just because the inside of the meat stays cool doesn't mean that the outter meat is the same temp. And as we all know bacteria needs a dark warm damp area to breed, so that room temp meat has all of those characteristics.

Can you refreeze chicken thats been thawed in water?

It isn't generally safe to refreeze raw food. This is especially true for chicken, which is contaminated with salmonella at scary-high rates. If the chicken has thawed, it isn't generally safe to refreeze it and eat it later. This is especially true if it is thawed in room-temperature water rather than being thawed in the refrigerator. Once thawed, the chicken should be cooked fairly quickly. Once cooked, it can then be frozen for later consumption.
