minus-squarePhilipTheBucket@quokk.aulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·22 days agoAbsolutely don’t bake frozen chicken You can defrost it in the microwave, they usually have a “defrost” setting with some different options which may take 5-10 minutes. It’s a little less optimal than waiting, but it’s fine. Definitely don’t bake it frozen.
