The most difficult thing about cooking chicken is getting the inside cooked all the way through without burning or drying out the outside.

If it's frozen, that's much more difficult.

So yes - you can cook it from frozen, but if you don't know what you're doing, the odds are that it's going to end up cooked on the outside and raw on the inside or cooked on the inside and burnt on the outside.

I had consistent results with my instantpot/pressure cooker when cooking from frozen. The breast was always cooked thoroughly and tender.

Defrost in fridge, no other safe way to do it.

I cook from frozen all the time, but I use a sous vide stick in a cooler box (keeps the water insulated so less heat loss), then finish in the air fryer.

You can do anything once.

You can cook it however you want as long as it gets to 160F. I sous vide frozen chicken all the time. I bet you could roast it at low temp just fine. Or just defrost it in the microwave.

You can as long as you get the center hot enough. However baking frozen chicken often makes the meat mushy. I'd recommend a thaw first.

You can defrost quickly with the microwave.

if you dont defrost it first you will most likely over cook the outside while the middle will be frozen or undercooked. potentially dangerous for chicken.

pro tip for fast defrosting? cut it up in smaller pieces, while its frozen. this gives each piece a greater surface area, meaning it will defrost and cook much faster. in this case, baking would be slowest option, i would chop into cubes and pan fry.

whip up a slice of nice verse pie.

You would have to chop it up into manageable pieces, somehow, while it's frozen. Then bake or fry or whatever.

Basically make your own chicken nuggets, which are designed to be baked from frozen.

Then the problem becomes cutting solid chicken into slices or strips or bite size cubes. Not sure how to do that reliably or safely

Quickest way I know of to cook frozen chicken is in a Pressure Cooker aka Instant Pot. It’s done in like 30 minutes to an hour depending on what your cooking. full bird I think was an hour and change. Wings are super quick.

Absolutely 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.
