They haven't considered rate of slap. Significant heat transfer to environment even at 10 slaps per second.

They're also assuming sea level standard atmospheric conditions. You may need to reduce rate of slap at altitude.

Also only about half the heat goes into the chicken and the other half into the hand used for slapping

This assumes both have the same amount of heat capacity * mass. A hand with heat insulating gloves would also significantly reduce heat loss.

Better do it in a vacuum though, you'll lose energy to air resistance

I believe we're well on our way to developing the worlds first slap coefficient.
