Five years, pitch it!.!.!.!.!.!.!.9 months for chicken at most!.!.!.!.!.!.Unless you plan on crock potting it for like a chicken chili, it's probably still OK for that, you won't be able to tell it's freezer burned if you cook it with typical red/white chili seasonings, as the flavor is going to be masked with other ingredients!.!.!.!.It would be next to impossible to make a dish with if the chicken was to be the stand alone item!.!.!.!.!.!.Other than that, I'd toss it!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Remember, chicken is inexpensive and readily available!.!.!.!.!.!.Enjoy!!

Well, people have eaten mammoth which have been frozen for millennia so, compared to that, your chicken is very new!.

BUT, I don't think I would risk eating it!. I would thaw it out, cook it and give it to the dog!. Animals have very good senses and they seem to know if food is off!. If your dog will not eat it then throw it in the bin!. However, if your dog does eat it, then watch him carefully for a few days, just in case!!

P!.S!. What other things have you got lurking in the depths of your freezer!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

It is probably freezer burned!. I'd go with the odds being 90% that it will taste nasty if you try cooking it!. Even dogs have some sense of taste!. I'd get rid of it if it is more than a couple years old, and you're saying it's more than double that time!. Toss it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
