Best Answer

Poultry, turkey or chicken, is cooked 20 min. per pound. Multiply the number of pounds by 20 min.

It is best to only cook defrosted poultry. Semi-frozen poultry will not cook evenly. If cooked for the number hours/min. per pound chances are the interior of a semi- frozen chicken or turkey will still be frozen while the outside is cooked.
