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?
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 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. Pat
