I feed chicken drumsticks quite frequently to my snakes (everyone of my animals have eaten chicken parts at one point or another including 1' long kenyans)

What I do is defrost it like you would to prepare it for yourself. Bake it or microwave it until it is cooked (don't have to worry about pink meat in the middle)I then put all of the chicken in a bucket of room temp water for a few hours (to cool it off a bit and also rinses off some of the excess grease) once it is cooled down but not cold I dump out the water and start feeding it. My larger snakes snatch it from the tongues like its their favorite food on the planet. If you feed parts I suggest only using either boneless tenderloins for smaller snakes and drumsticks for larger ones as the multiple bones in other parts can cause problems.
