Guest guest Posted December 28, 2002 Report Share Posted December 28, 2002 <PRE>if you wrap chicken twice in foil and put in ziplock, it lasts 4 months in freezer...make sure it is at least room temperature or cooler before putting in the freezer to eliminate freezer burn, which is what takes away from the taste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 28, 2002 Report Share Posted December 28, 2002 If I freeze them will they taste ok after I thaw them later to eat? How long can I keep cooked chicken breast in the fridge before they spoil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 28, 2002 Report Share Posted December 28, 2002 I cook chicken breasts on Sunday. Any of them that I haven't eaten by the following Friday or Saturday, I put in ziplock bags and freeze. So, I go 5 or 6 days on refrigerated chicken, another month or so on the frozen ones. They probably last even longer than that frozen. Once they've been in the freezer for 5 or 6 weeks they kind of start tasting like the freezer though. Can I freeze cooked chicken breasts? If I freeze them will they taste ok after I thaw them later to eat? How long can I keep cooked chicken breast in the fridge before they spoil?

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2002 Report Share Posted December 28, 2002 My father, who owns a grocer store, has always told me that chicken in the fridge is only good for up to four days afterwards. I cook chicken once a week and leave 3-4 breasts in the fridge and freeze the rest. If you freeze them in ziploc bags and try and get all the air out, they'll last a long time.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2002 Report Share Posted December 28, 2002 Hi, Chicken usually lasts about 4 to 5 days tops, if you want to freeze them I would recommend buying freezer bags or buying an inexpensive vaccum sealer for freezing things over a week. That way they don't have the nasty freezer taste. Make sure they are well sealed and they should be fine. Keep any poultry or meats in the top shelf of the fridge, it is the coldest part. > If I freeze them will they taste ok after I thaw them later to eat? > How long can I keep cooked chicken breast in the fridge before they > spoil?
