How long after you take chicken out of the freezer is it good for?

Raw chicken can be stored in the freezer for up to 9 months. After 9 months, the quality of the chicken will begin to decline. Cooked chicken can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. After 2 months, the quality of the chicken will begin to decline.

It is important to thaw chicken properly before cooking it. To thaw chicken, you can place it in the refrigerator overnight or you can use the defrost setting on your microwave. Never thaw chicken at room temperature, as this can allow bacteria to grow.

Once chicken has been thawed, it should be cooked immediately. Do not refreeze chicken that has been thawed.
