Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Use Chicken Immediately or Freeze
If you do not plan on cooking the chicken you purchased at least 2 days from purchase date it is mandatory that you freeze the chicken right away. If properly wrapped and sealed, raw chicken will maintain its quality frozen and it will also maintain its nutritional value.
