Question:

Chicken is still raw after 40 min in oven?

I followed the instructions on the package, preheat to 375F, and wrapped my frozen chicken roll with aluminum foil and then put it on a rectangle baking trayI put the tray into the middle rack of the oven, and after 40 min, I took it out, only to find that the chicken is still rawThe outside is just warm and the inside is still coolThe oven is working and I can feel intense heat coming out when I open the oven door.My oven is a really old one and only has a knob of temperature and a clockIt uses gas and I can see flame coming out from the bottom of the oven.

Answer:

Get yourself an oven thermometerFor now I would un wrap the chicken and put it back in the ovenIt is possible that the aluminum foil insulated the chicken and it needs more time(especially true if your oven is not at the correct temperature.) When you get the oven thermometer get yourself an instant read thermometer and you can check the temperature of the items that you are cookingboth thermometers should not cost more than about $10.00
