So you would have to slap a chicken with speed of around Mach 4 to cook that chicken from frozen in one slap.
I mean it can be done but the aim must be on point.

If kinetic energy is converted into thermal energy, how hard do I have to slap a chicken to cook it?
As your friendly neighborhood physics major, I decided to calculate this with a few assumptions.

The formula for converting between kinetic energy and thermal energy 1/2mv2=mcT

The average human hand weighs about .4kg, the average slap has a velocity of 11 m/s (25mph), an average rotisserie chicken weighs 1kg (2lbs) and has a specific heat capacity of 2720J/kg*c, and lets assume the chicken has to reach 205C (400F) for us to consider it cooked . The chicken will start off frozen so 0C (32F)

1 average slap would generate a temperature increase of 0.0089 degrees Celsius. It would take 23,034 average slaps to cook a chicken.

To cook the chicken in one slap, you would have to slap it with a velocity of 1665.65 m/s or 3725.95 mph.
