Process essay

I use "past tense" to describe the process for making a fired chicken.

In step 1, you thawed a frozen chicken.
In step 2, you breaded the thawed chicken.
In step 3, you fried the breaded chicken.

If someone want to ask the question "under what condition did you thawed the frozen chicken?,"
could he/she use "when the fired chicken was the frozen chicken, under what condition did you thawed it?"

Are the two sentences identical?

I have this confusion, because the sentence "the president was the/a boss" indicate the current president was a boss, and now isn't.
In the example, I describe the former position of the person mentioned now.
I think "when the fired chicken was the frozen chicken" is also allowable to describe the former state of the fried chicken.

Wei-Tsung Li for making a fired chicken.

A fired employee is someone who was forced by his boss to leave the company.

Chickens do not have employment, so it is strange to fire a chicken.
