[Cook] Why Did The Chicken Get An Ice Bath?

Experimented with boiling 2 chicken thighs for about 45 mins and then took out both.
One left to cool at room temperature, another was dunked in water filled with ice.

VERDICT
Chicken that was dunked in ice water was noticeably tastier. Meat and skin were both more firm.

NOTE TO SELF : Always dunk boiled chicken in ice water when possible.
