When To Eat That Frozen Chicken Breasts

This group from the Univ. of Arkansas looked at the impact of freezing on the tenderness, water-holding capacity, and color of broiler breast fillets for up to 8 months.

Their conclusion: The results suggest that for optimal tenderness, frozen broiler breast fillets are best consumed within 2 months of freezing.

Because I am a big fan of frozen chicken fillets, this is valuable to know.  Personally my experience has been that frozen chicken fillets beyond 2 months are still okay but the taste is not that great and the tenderness makes it almost unbearable.

    You are always coming up with info, Marc. Thanks.

    What is your opinion on cooking chicken breasts ahead of time for the week?

    Jerry,

    I recommend picking 2 days out of the week to do your bulk cooking of chicken and/or other meats. Including rice and making a big salad. A lot of people like Wednesday and Sunday for this but whatever works.

    Chicken will be good cooked for about 2-3 days after cooking. Keep it refrigerated and in an airtight container if at all possible.
