Can you freeze roast chicken?

[Indadhanu]

I mean, the roast chicken you get from supermarkets?

I want to make lunches for Shel for work from now on, eating healthy and being a good partner etc etc, and know that if we buy a large roast chicken theres enough for 3 meals, but not exactly sure if it would last (buy on Thursday night, eat chicken Thursday dinner, Friday lunch, Saturday lunch).

Do you think it would last? Can you freeze it? Or should i just buy a smaller chook and find a new lunch for Saturday?

I have done it. The breast seems a bit dry once it thaws so if it's for sangas I'll mix it with a bit of mayo.

I saw Safeway Roast chickens on sale for $2.00 !!! I bought 3, deep freezed all of them, last night I got one out, shreded it, put it with small amount of olive oil, lemon, garlic, lemon pepper seasoning, lightly fried it, and had it in souvalaki bread, ohhh yum ...

You could try that for lunches too ..
