Freezing tips

1
Use moisture proof wrap or bags when freezing chicken. Wax paper is not moisture proof and should not be used because it would not hold the moisture in the meat.
2
Be sure all packages are marked with the content and the date it was frozen.
3
Wrapping individual chicken parts in foil or with freezer wrap and then placing in a freezer bag will allow you to take out only the number of pieces you will need.
4
Freeze fresh chicken as soon as possible to maintain the best quality.
5
Store frozen chicken in a freezer unit to obtain maximum storage time.
6
Thaw frozen chicken using one of three methods: in the refrigerator; in cold water, changing every 30 minutes; or in the microwave. NEVER thaw chicken at room temperature.
