Uncooked chicken pieces go in the fridge or freezer?
i got some chicken from whole foods and i opened it and used some. should i put the other uncooked chicken in the fridge or freezer?
Answers:
the rule of thumb is if it has been frozen before don't refreeze it , use asap. if you refreeze it and then thaw it out it will not make you sick or kill you it just won't be worth a crud to eat.
the best thing that you can do is to cook it in the favorite way that you like, then freeze it, it should be good be good for 1 month or so.
freezer unless ur gonna use it like, the next day; ive never had a problem that way.
It just depends on when you plan on using it. If you'll use it within a day or so, the fridge should be fine. Otherwise, I'd freeze it. Make sure you put it in a ziploc baggie or tightly sealed container either way. Good luck~
if you want to save the pieces for later use like next couple of days then it is best to freeze it so it doesnt get infected with bacteria but if you are going to eat like tomorrow or the next then its okay to put it in the fridge.
If it was already thawed, Don't refreeze it, You'll get food poisoning if you do.
freezer unless your going to use it with in a day or two
depending when you are planning on using the rest of the chicken
when are you going to use the chicken next, tomrrow, then put it in the fridge. in a few days, then put it in the freezer just as long as it hasn't been frozen first.
Whenever I have left over pieces of chicken or ribs, what I usually do is drown it in some sort of marinade. example,
wine, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, brown sugar and crushed peppers. Mix it all up and pour over uncooked meat.
let it marinade and cook it at a later time. MMmmmmm.....mmmmm....D'lish!!!...
