How can I defrost some frozen chicken? What is the proper way to defrost meat?
I've never defrosted something outside of leaving it in my fridge for several days

Never put shit in the sun or next to a heat source, just put it out a standard temp area (like kitchen) and let it defrost. With chicken ensure its fully defrosted before cooking, you can get sick easily with it.

Microwave, if it weighs 1.3kg just put it on the setting for 1kg then let it rest on the kitchen sink to finish

Don't understand people who do that. If you're not careful not only can you make the meat go off, you can end up with nasty food poisoning.
Sealed it in an airtight container or bag.
Do not let it reach room temperature.
A) Thaw the chicken in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours
Or B) Thaw the chicken in a bowl with cold water, change the water every 30 minutes.
Cook it immediately after defrosting.

That's why it's important to be careful, anon. There's nothing wrong with defrosting in a microwave, it's better than leaving a hunk of poultry on the sink for 12 hours.
Use water, bag it and fill with water.

I've always found it messes with the taste. It's applicable to defrosting things like sausages if you can't be assed with waiting but definitely not with something like chicken.

I've never noticed a change in taste, however I won't disagree with you purely based on the fact you have noticed it.
I regularly buy meat and chicken in bulk and freeze it and putting it in the fridge over night is still my preferred method but if for some reason I'm disorganised the microwave is my go to
fill sink with cool water
let chicken part defrost in sink pool
cook chicken breast/part
