Quick question, please can someone help. I made a chicken pie (chicken already cooked) and put it in the freezer. Can I put it straight in the oven to cook or does it need defrosting first?

Thank you.x

If bought ones are anything to go by then you can quite easily cook it straight from frozen. Just allow a bit longer to make sure it's cooked through.

was the pastry cooked or uncooked hun? cos if it was uncooked then I definately wouldnt defrost! soggy pastry!
in fact - I never defrost frozen pies - I either 'cook' them or warm them up thoroughly from frozen (allow at least 45 mins in a medium oven and be prepared with some foil to stop the pastry getting too brown)!
