Hi all,
I am a 60 year old male living alone and like most of us out at work all
day!
I have been buying fresh cooked chickens, normally 2 at a time,
removing all the skin and bone, portioning it and when cool freezing it to
use in sandwiches ect as I need.
it has been suggested that freezing fresh cooked chicken could result in
food poisoning.
any advice welcomed.
Mick.

I always understood it to be you can't refreeze chicken which has been
frozen ... unless of course you cook it first. Its the process of
defrosting meat which leads to the problem and repeated defrosting
exposes the bacteria to the right sort of temperature to reproduce to
large amounts without having had any culling done by way of exposure
to high heat.

Providing you cook the chicken properly you shouldn't have any
problems.

If it was making you "ill" then you'd be doing something wrong - and
you'd know about it if you were.

Sometimes raw chicken is marked as "not to be refrozen" as its spent
time already frozen.
