Is precooked chicken bought from the store better refrigerated or put in the freezer? which makes it fresher and tastier or does that only apply to raw meat?

  • How long are you planning to store the chicken?

  • i already know its only safe to refrigerate it for a few days, 2-3. Commented Feb 16, 2018 at 23:24
  • OK, so then does that mean you're specifically asking about consumption within 2-3 days? And your focus is on food quality, not on ease of use?

Freezing will damage the texture, making it a bit wooly. It would be better refrigerated. It will taste better, too, if allowed to come to room temperature before serving.
