Luckily, it’s a linear relationship and they gave us the temp change per slap. So, if we assume the chicken has thawed in the fridge (40°F) and we want to reach 165°F for food safety, we only need
(165 - 40)°F * (5°C / 9°F) / (0.0089 °C / slap) = 7803 slaps
Although, to be honest I think this would only work for a spherical chicken in a vacuum, as otherwise you’d be losing too much heat between slaps. And even in a vacuum, you’d lose some heat via radiation… So really, you should stick a temperature probe in there and just keep slapping until it reaches 165°F. Don’t even bother counting.
Sorry for the silly units, I only know food safety temperatures off the top of my head in °F.

I was gonna say to start laying off when it gets to 165F, I don’t think residual heat will help in this case 😁
