Hi,
I am in the process of making AK chicken sliders.. I'm a bit unsure about the freezing part of it...

Does anyone know if you cook them through and then freeze them OR shape them and freeze and cook when defrosted/needed???

Thanks

You can do both. If I freeze them cooked then I usually just reheat them in the microwave (after defrosting them overnight in the fridge or in the microwave on the defrost setting).

If they are frozen uncooked then you can cook them from frozen, or thawed. If I am cooking from frozen (which I usually am) I just lob them in the oven till cooked, about 20-25 mins for the size I make.

thanks for that,
I have them in the fridge for now but I will shape them and put them in the freezer.

I usually would freeze and then cook as needed.

I've always cooked them before freezing and they've been fine xx

Hi
I am new to this site, and in need of advice as a new mum!! I made my 7 month some chicken thigs and he ate one and i blended the rest and froze them in cubes - is that ok to do? Can i freeze cooked chicken?

sorry if it is a stupid question! I jsut find it a waste buying new chicken every few days as he is just starting to eat meat.
thanks for any help

You can freeze it no problem, I did this all the time for my LO when he was little - froze the chicken in ice cube trays, veg in others then took out whatever mix I liked each day for his meal.

With frozen meat it is really important to reheat thoroughly, so make sure it is steaming hot and then cool it down before you give it to him.
