When you cook chicken that has been frozen can refreeze and reheat?

It's generally not recommended to refreeze cooked chicken that has been thawed and then reheated. Here's why:

* Food safety: Reheating and refreezing chicken increases the risk of bacterial growth, which can lead to foodborne illness.

* Quality: The texture and flavor of the chicken can be compromised with multiple freeze-thaw cycles.

Here's a safer approach:

1. Thaw the chicken thoroughly before cooking.

2. Cook the chicken thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

3. Store any leftover cooked chicken in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

4. Reheat the chicken thoroughly before eating.

Important Note: If you've already reheated and refrozen cooked chicken, it's best to discard it as a precaution.
