Should I freeze my chicken breast before or after I cook them?

Question

I have 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts. Should I cook them all and freeze them or only cook the one I want and freeze the others uncooked.

Thanks!

Answer 1

only cook the ones you want and freeze the rest

Answer 2

It depends on how you plan to use your chicken in the future. Usually I freeze raw chicken.

However sometimes I cook up a bunch of it..usually on the grill.. and cut it into bite sized pieces and freeze in appropiately sized packages for future use. That makes it easy to throw together a casserole or use in burritos or whatever.

Answer 3

Freeze them uncooked.

After you cook the chicken, refrigerate it and eat within a couple days.

Answer 4

Definitely freeze the ones you don't want to use right away uncooked. If you have a foodsaver, these are great for freezing extras and keeping them fresh longer.

Answer 5

Cook what you would like to cook and tehn freeze the rest of it. It stays much better and you don't lose all your great seasonings etc!

Answer 6

i would freeze them raw. cooked frozen chicken in my opinion always seems too dry for my liking. use what you need and freezde the rest.

Answer 7

cook what you want and freeze the rest

Answer 8

Definitely before - and like MissBri said, I usually only pack 1 or two in ziplock bags or wrap them in plastic wrap then aluminum foil.

Answer 9

this is what I do since I buy in bulk.

I put them each in freezer ziplock bags and only take out what I need at a time.

I put them in uncooked.
