Is It Dangerous To Refreeze Chicken. Only refreeze raw chicken if it was thawed in the refrigerator. Yes, raw meat and poultry is safe to refreeze after thawing, provided it has been defrosted in the refrigerator.

I monged it the other day and managed to take my chicken fillets out of the freezer (6 fillets worth). This involves thawing it the correct way and making sure it is kept at the appropriate temperature so bacteria does not grow on it. If you defrost your chicken in cold water or in the microwave, there is still a chance that harmful bacteria will grow, so you should cook the chicken before freezing it.
