Fact 1: Microwave ovens work because they produce microwaves tuned to a vibratory frequency of liquid water.

Fact 2: Microwave ovens are rather poor at defrosting chicken; the parts that get defrosted first become partly cooked by the time the remainder of the chicken is defrosted.

Question Arising From These Facts: Would it be possible to build a microwave oven that was tuned to a vibratory frequency of solid water that would defrost chicken properly?

I know that this is not what you want to hear, but I have just given up. I thaw chicken on a plate in the refrigerator and get perfectly satisfactory results.

I have cooked boneless chicken breasts from frozen in the 'wave. But those are relatively thin and homogeneous, and I almost always cook it sealed up with some flavorful liquid.
