Yes, just let it cool off from being steaming hot. Put it in a ziploc bag and you can freeze it for up to 3 months. Contact your local agricultural extension agency in your area if you have more questions about certain precautions you would need to take.

The best answer is a combination of the first 2. Yes you can freeze cooked chicken. You have to use a FREEZER bag, or better idea is to get a vacuum packaging system. Try this web site...www.foodsaver.com.

It is quite safe to freeze cooked chicken and any meat...just never put it in the freezer until it has completely cooled. Putting hot meat or poultry in the fridge or freezer right after cooking, is no good.
After cooking, put on plate or any type of storage container (Do Not Cover), let stand until cooled...then cover and freeze.

Of course you can. Just make sure it's been cooked properly first, and when cold, seal it in plastic bags/boxes, and when you want to use it again, let it thaw out naturally. As it seems that all of the 'nasties' appear to come to the fore after re-heating, you must ensure that you really DO heat it up to the extent that you can't get near it for a minute or three!
Oddly enough, the nasties don't seem to make themselves known with just cold chicken, but don't leave it laying around uncovered for too long. (That's why shop-bought chicken sarnies which have invariably been frozen for a while) don't seem to cause much harm. [..says he hopefully!!!]

Yes. Just seal it up tightly in a zip lock bag or in saran wrap.

i dont think so unless you have a sealer that takes all of the air out of the bag that the chicken is in.

Of course - just put in freezer bag or airtight container.
