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?

Okay, you kicked my metaphorical ass around on that. At least you didn't begin it with "Ryk, you ignorant slut." ;)

If that is the case, then it should be possible to design one that shifts its frequency, if frequencies can be controlled accurately enough, to affect frozen water preferentially.

Of course, I just use my own microwave defrosting approach which avoids cooking the bird in places, but that approach requires that you experiment to know the characteristics of your particular oven.
