Tidy Tip Tuesday - Freezing Chicken Pieces

For today's tip, I thought I'd elaborate a little more concerning the chicken post I wrote several weeks ago.

If you would like to freeze the chicken that you cut up (refer to this post), there are two ways you can do it so that the pieces remain separate in bags in the freezer.

The easiest way to freeze chicken pieces is to lay them out on a large flat baking pan, making sure that the pieces do not touch. Cover the pieces with plastic wrap and set in the freezer so that tray is flat and chicken does not travel to the side or off of the tray.

Once the chicken is frozen, remove from tray, place in gallon-size bags and return to the freezer. The chicken will remain as individual pieces that you can remove from the baggie one at a time.

If you are like me and you do not have the freezer space to lay in a large baking pan, try this the second method:

Place each individual piece of chicken in a sandwich-size baggie and then in a gallon-size bag and freeze. The pieces will lift out easily.
