How long would you cook frozen chicken fingers at 425 degrees?

I went to this place called Chicken City and bought a huge pack of Burger King chicken fingers but there is no cook time or temp on the bag. I preheated the oven to 425, and set the kitchen timer to 15 minutes. Do you think this is enough?

Cook them until they sizzle. Flip them after about 8 minutes.

I'm assuming they're pre-cooked. If they're not, I have no idea.

I usually cook them for about 25 minutes, it says 24 on the package if I'm not mistaken, but I find 25 is a more rounded up number and I like to slightly overcook stuff past spec.

I'd go by whatever it says on the package though, going way over will probably make it too hard / crunchy. I like a slight crunch, but I don't want my supper to require a dentist appointment either.

425 is going to leave you with chicken fingers with the centers still frozen and the outside like molten lava. Drop the temp to 350 or 375 and cook them longer, like 25-30 mins.

425 is way too high for thick frozen items. I concur with 350 (or even lower) and 25-30 mins.

This sounds about right. I was gonna say, "Not very long" to the OP's question.

You could probably cut that cook time down to 6 to 8 minutes if you nuke them for 1-2 minutes first.

1. Place in 425 degree oven
2. Wait 1 minute
3. Chomp! Is it cooked? If no, return to step 2. If yes, go to 4
4. Enjoy!

"I'm warning you Ricky. No blues music, no Ray on my... friggin' lawn drunk, and no chicken fingers!"

Make sure you cook them well so you don't get saspurella or some shit.
