I have frozen chicken breasts in the oven at 350, i just cut one open to see if it was almost ready and blood is pouring out. If i leave the chicken in a little longer will it help the blood come out? What should i do? Thanks in advance
 
definately cook it longer. cook it until the juices run clear or none at al. The breast meat should be perfect white and fluffy. Sometimes if the chicken is fatty or thicker then it needs a bit longer, also you need to go by gas/electric oven and how good yours is. Hope its yummy :)
 
If you've got blood running out, they probably need at least another 30 mins of cooking.

In the future thaw before baking, to prevent having to cook them to jerky stage to get them done all the way through.
 
You should ideally thaw out chicken before cooking it. The reason being that the centre of the chicken cannot be reliably cooked to the necessary temperature, as you have just found out, and they can go tough.

If you have one, I would put it in the micowave for a blasting. Otherwise you might like to try boiling them. Depends on what you are tying to do. It will probably take quite a long time to cook them in the oven though.
