How to Freeze
How to Freeze
After cooking, allow the chicken to cool down to room temperature. This will prevent condensation from forming inside the container, which can make the chicken soggy. Cut the chicken into portions that will be easy to reheat later on. You can cut the chicken into individual serving sizes or pieces that fit into your storage containers. Use freezer-safe containers or ziplock bags to store the chicken. Make sure the containers are airtight to prevent freezer burn. Write the date on each container with a permanent marker.
