Help! How do I get all this frozen chicken apart? I only need two peices!?

I have this huge bag of chicken legs and thighs, and I only need maybe two or three peices of it. On the bag, it says keep frozen until cooking, so thawing it out in the fridge and using it in a couple of days is no good, plus, there is more than one nights worth of chicken in there, and even if I did thaw it, I would prefer to not thaw what I'm not using right away. If I run cold water over it, and then refreeze what I'm not using with water all over it, I will encase the whole thing in ice and make it even more impossible to get apart next time, when I still won't be able to use all of what will be left. It is way to solid to just wedge a knife in there and pry apart. What can be done?

The easiest way to get it apart is to soak it in cold water but you cannot refreeze what is left in the bag. Thaw it all and then cook it all; after cooking it, you can refreeze it but you can not refreeze uncooked chicken that has been thawed. The next time your purchase chicken in a big package, divide it into smaller portions for 2 or 3 (whatever you would use for one meal); put those pieces in individual freezer bags and then freeze them. It is much easier to pick out a meals worth of chicken and it is a whole lot less aggrevating. Once you cook the chicken, do the same thing, divide it into portions and freeze each portion pack in bags.
