Is it ok to eat this chicken?

[CoolYourBeansMySon]

I've just taken a chicken out of the freezer to cook tomorrow and it says it's not suitable for home freezing.
Sorry for the boring question, I just don't want food poisoning! Is it ok to cook and eat the chicken or should I bin it?

Bin it. It's obviously been frozen already at some point.

Bin- it’s probably been frozen and defrosted without cooking already.

Why on earth wouldn't it be suitable for home freezing? Is it just your bog standard plain whole chicken?

Did you buy it fresh from the supermarket? Is it stuffed with something that might not be so nice frozen and then defrosted?

It's a cook in the bag marinated roast chicken from the chilled section. It didn't occur to me to check!

Just bumping. I can't find anything online as it's all a bit contradictory!

It is usually the case that chilled items marked as not suitable for home freezing have been previously frozen before then being defrosted for sale.

I'd eat it to be honest.

Chef here, don't risk it

I'd cook it. It's probably the marinade that doesnt freeze very well. Does the packet say on it anywhere that it's been previously frozen?

Bin it, and I say that as someone who hates food waste and am usually pretty reckless with reheating takeaways etc. You can't trust chicken!

Oh dear, I will bin it then. Takeaway tonight it is!

I would totally eat that. But I love takeaway too.

That's a shame, I did the same with a chilled chicken and it was lovely once cooked. I'd feel too bad throwing the poor thing away after it had given up its life for me.

Actually, I've gone off the idea now.
