After butcherin the birds, what do you wrap them in?

[OPIE]

I have read that after butchering, people wrap there birds and put them in the freezer. What does everyone use to put there birds up in? Freezer paper, plastic bag etc?

I vacuum pack mine. They take up less space and last longer in the freeezer...

Someone said if you don't have a vacuum sealer you can place the chicken in a ziploc, then lower the ziploc into a put of water to force the air out of the top. I wish I remembered who gave the tip so I could give credit.

We just put them in ziploc.

We just dispatched our extra roosters to the freezer this weekend. For freezer storage, we used a Food Saver with their vacuum bags. I have had really good results using the vacuum packaging for freezing all types of foods.

I use freezer-weight, NON ziploc bags, extra large size. Put chicken in, scroonch up the neck of the bag, suck air out by putting lips inside and inhaling

, then put on twist-tie while air is still sucked out. For chickens I plan to have in the freezer more than a couple weeks, I double-bag them.

You can also do it with a small hose attached to your vacuum/shop vac. It sucks the air out really well, and then you don't have to suck raw chicken.
