Fridge defrost is the ONLY safe way.
UNLIKE my friend, Charlie, not the world's greatest cook....who put her
bird in the BATH TUB (sans the wrapping), filled the tub with warm water
and let it sit.

Imagine our horror when she related this tale to us, the guests, AS we
were eating the damn thing..... O Dear God, PLEASE say she at least
CLEANED the tub of shaved leg hairs and pubees....oh PLEEEEEEZE.

good grief.
