您需要知道的所有何时冷冻煮熟的鸡肉不超过推荐的冰箱时间，并且要保持鸡肉的紧密包装，以免冰箱燃烧。
Freezing Cooked Chicken
像生鸡一样，煮熟的鸡肉可以冷冻并在以后食用。无论您是冷冻烤鸡腿还是烤鸡胸肉，都必须遵守适当的冻结指南。
美国农业部recommends wrapping the chicken with airtight heavy-duty foil, plastic wrap or freezer paper or putting it in a freezer bag toprevent freezer burn. Tight wrapping is especially advised if you're freezing the chicken for more than two months.
Leftover cooked chicken can be refrigerated for up to four days or frozen for up to four months. Make sure not to leave it out for more than two hours once purchased or cooked. It should be eaten or refrigerated as soon as possible.
What's more, theAustralian Chicken Meat Federation(ACMF) says it's okay to refreeze defrosted chicken...well...sometimes. If chicken hasn't been left out at room temperature for more than two hours or thawing in the refrigerator for more than 24 hours, it should be okay to refreeze.
Another set of guidelines by美国农业部建议在新鲜食物时冻结食物，而不是在其使用寿命的尽头。融化后新鲜的食物在被冷冻之前的食物质量更高。如果您想知道：冷冻不会破坏鸡肉中的营养，它不会改变肉的颜色。

How to Safely Defrost Chicken
Freezing cooked chicken means you'll eventually have to remove the chicken from the freezer and eat it or toss it out. USDA: Chicken From Farm to Table advises three ways tosafely defrost chicken：在微波炉中，在冷水和冰箱中。
Do not thaw chicken at room temperature, and make sure to set enough time aside for the chicken to fully defrost. Keep in mind that boneless chicken breasts can take up to one to two days longer to thaw, says USDA.
When thawing chicken in water, the meat must be in a leak-proof bag. Make sure to use cold water and change it every 30 minutes. According to USDA, a 1-pound package of boneless chicken breasts should defrost in under an hour.
If you're thawing raw chicken, you should cook it as soon as it has defrosted. Another important note: chicken can be cooked from a frozen state in the oven or on the stove, though cooking time can take 50 percent longer.
