At the supermarket, I found some frozen breaded chicken. The package said it was already fried before frozen. Why would they fry the chicken before freezing it?

To simply facilitate the end-user cooking.
You get all the "benefit" of fried food without the hassle of having to actual fry the food (hot oil handling, odors, ... )
Most people do not have fryers at home and rely on par-fried food (for example oven fries).

5and typically it's fully cooked, so you can just warm and eat ... so they have less chance of food poisoning from undercooked poultry.– JoeCommented Oct 27, 2014 at 14:51

Just be sure to check the package as most pre-cooked frozen foods (such as the fried chicken) still specify that the foods need to reach a certain internal temperature.– CindyCommented Oct 27, 2014 at 18:52
