He has the car today and has a staff meeting after work, he is getting home when she is coming. That's why he's an as$. Going out and getting something else is not an option, ordering something in ain't one either.

Cook it on 400 degrees and keep it covered with foil make sure to keep basting it every 30 min or so
325 and cook it about 20-30 minutes longer than thawed put a rub on the outside for flavor
Turning up the temperature will only burn it. It doesn't make it cook faster. I think you are **** out of luck. Go buy a roaster chicken (precooked) from the store. You are better off.
220F
325 for 2 hours, then 400 for 45 mins
If you cook it from a frozen state it's going to turn out overcooked and dry. It will take to long to thaw out and be ready by 6:00 so I suggest you make something else for dinner, or go out, unless you like dry nasty chicken.
SAFE DEFROSTING
Chicken defrosted in the microwave should be cooked immediately after thawing because some areas of the food may become warm and begin to cook during microwaving. Holding partially cooked food is not recommended because any bacteria present wouldn't have been destroyed. Foods defrosted in the microwave or by the cold water method should be cooked before refreezing.
Do not cook frozen chicken in the microwave or in a slow cooker. However, chicken can be cooked from the frozen state in the oven or on the stove. The cooking time may be about 50% longer.
I would defrost it first in the micro-wave, if that's not possible; cook at 200 - 220 degrees. I would also wrap it tightly in foil as this will disperse the heat more evenly.

Boil it...make chicken and dumplings....or use the boiled chicken to make enchiladas....
If you already started your Chicken it is beyond done by 6. From experince the best to do would be to pre heat your oven and run your chix under cold water til your oven comes to temperature then put your Chix in the oven when it is at temperature 325. Make sure to cover it with foil and it should only take an hour to an hour and a half
