For Frozen prepared chicken taquitos, the chart baseline is 6-12 minutes at 375°F. Adjusted sizes and temperatures are modelled estimates.

How do I know when chicken taquitos is done?

Check the thickest part, away from bone. Whole birds: also check the inner thigh and wing; stuffing must reach 165°F. A thermometer beats any timer.
