Freezing time for Chicken?

I’m cooking for MrsOMG on Saturday night and I need an answer to this question. ‘How long can a chicken be safely frozen for’?

Any help would be appreciated.

  3. OMG – Chichen can be frozen almost indefinitely, but you need to be sure it is properly defrosted before cooking. Allow at least 12 hours in the fridge.

    What are you planning? Roast chicken or curry?

    OZ

  6. Damn! Knew I’d done something wrong, I put a live chicken in the freezer last night and this morning it was dead. 🙂

  9. So, let’s have the whole story, then. You’re cooking and you’ve had a rummage through the freezer to see if you can avoid shopping, perhaps, and have come across one sad chicken with a use by date that has long passed?

  10. Folks,
    It was a rather weedy joke that has fallen flat on it’s Harris.

    I’ll get me coat.

  13. That was a weedy joke, omg. Now tell us the one about the long-nosed short-legged lurcher. It’s my favourite but I always ruin it.

  14. Sorry jan, it’ not in my Tommy Cooper joke book for big boys.
    I can’t tell you my favourite, this site would explode if I did, perhaps when we get together for the New Year Party.

  15. I would tell it but i’m rubbish at jokes.

    Oh yes! Bet it’s a cracker. But I’ll be out for N Year. Can’t we have the New Year’s Eve Eve party?

    OK- just found it. The interweb is a wonderful ting. This is the Irish version of my favourite joke. No doubt you have the comic timing to carry this one off a treat, OMG:

    Murphy is stood outside his house when he spots Paddy walking down the street with a strange animal by his side.

    “What’s that weird looking creature you have there?” he asks.

    “Oooohhh,” replies Paddy, “this is the fiercest dog in Ireland – it’s called a long-nosed, short-legged, long-tailed Irish lurcher.”

    “We’ll see about that! I have a Rottweiler, a Doberman and a Pit Bull Terrier in the back yard – let’s put this long-nosed, short-legged, long-tailed Irish lurcher of yours to the test,” Murphy laughs.

    “I’ll bet you £100 that my dog can beat all three of them at the same time,” says Paddy proudly.

    So they shake on the bet and go to the back yard where the Rottweiller, Doberman and Pit Bull are growling and barking.

    Murphy opens the gate and the long-nosed, short-legged, long-tailed Irish lurcher walks in.
    After a few seconds, fur is flying and the dogs are screaming, then silence……

    They look into the yard to see the long-nosed, short-legged, long-tailed Irish lurcher stood alone with no trace of the other three dogs apart from some blood and fur around its mouth.

    “Well, you were right, Paddy,” says Murphy as he’s handing over the £100.

    “What did you say it was called again? A long-nosed, short-legged, long-tailed lurcher, was it?”

    “Yup,” replies Paddy. “But in some parts of the world they call it a crocodile.”
