Is "O frango se queima no forno." also correct? How about "O frango queima-se no forno."?

    [06/07/15] In this case is "The chicken burns itself in the oven".

      Seriously one of the incorrect options are "O frango ri no forno". Kinda gross.

          [06/07/15] Tem, you forgot the chicken in the oven and it is burning.

            I'm a little confused by the subject-verb here. How would I differentiate between the chicken being burned (which is what's happening here) versus something burning something else? I feel like a se is necessary here. If I were to flip it and say "O forno queima o frango", the oven is doing the burning, right?
