When freezing chicken?
The package chicken is sold in is not great for storing it in the freezer. Some stores shrink wrap the packages by hand in the back and this can lead to air leaks (in) or liquid leaks (out) before the item is frozen. We suggest repacking the meat into portion or meal sized resealable bags designed for use in the freezer. This can retain the quality of the meat and ensure nothing leaks out. This will also extend the “shelf” life of the chicken in the freezer. For more information on storage, safe food handling techniques, nutrition information and lots of recipes visit www.chicken.ca.
