basically there are three modes of heat transfer. Convection - through waves like air and win, fans. Conduction - through contact. Ratiation - like heat from the sun conduction transfers heat faster than convection by putting the meat in water your switching the mode of heat transfer transfer from convection to conduction.

It will affect the taste of the final product. Warm water will equally thaw the food. Hot water will thaw out the outside before the inside is thawed. One should never thaw meat in water unless you are going to cook it in water. It removes some of the taste in the food Thawing meat in water will decrease the nutritional value of the meat as the nutrients are lost in the water. Furthermore it is not recommended to thaw meat in still water as it will increase the microbial growth. Rather thaw in the fridge or microwave or if you must use water rather thaw under running water (this is safer than still water).

How do I defrost a Frozen cooked chicken?
The best way to thaw it out is to thaw it in the refrigerator. You should not just leave it on the counter. You could also defrost it in the microwave. Using a cold water bath could work only if the package is completely sealed. A little water on the meat won't hurt anything. The meat won't absorb the water. It will just evaporate during the reheating. I've thawed whole chickens in cold water. Your raw chicken meat should be washed anyway.
