I cooked some chicken on a plastic tray(thought was metal) which melted, it remained hard. i eat it but worried chemicals may have been absorbed?

Plastic: You may well have ingested some plastic which melted. If you have no obvious ill effects at this time, I expect nothing serious to occur. You could call the poison center for reassurance.
