Dianthus Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Can I somehow recover freezer burned chicken? It's pretty much white all over. I hate throwing away food in these times, but also don't want to waste resources cooking and then gagging on the results. I can't deal with a strong poultry taste, not even turkey on Thanksgiving.

Katy Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I throw it out, but you might be able to cook it, shred it, and disguise the taste with something else. Chicken soup or chicken salad with extra mustard. Enchiladas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I would throw it away, but maybe you could disguise it with barbecue sauce or something and cook it in the Instant Pot or the Crock Pot? I’m sure someone will know what you can do with it! I’m not adventurous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 LOL! @Katy and I were posting at the same time, and we were both saying, “I would throw it out, but…” 🤪 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I make dog food with things like that from my freezer 😀not quite the same but better than tossing it!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 According to Google, freezer burn won’t make you sick but it won’t taste very good. You can try disguising the taste with herbs, broth or sauce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmama Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I'd baste with oil and add spices, then cook. That's improved some freezer burnt chicken here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy the Valiant Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Crock pot chicken chili! My crew loves this recipe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsheresomewhere Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Chili or dog food is what I do here. Although one time, I did an amazing chicken soup with it in the instant pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I throw it out or cook it for the dogs, too. … Although now our dog is allergic to chicken, so more likely to toss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemsondana Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 http://chefmommy-brandao.blogspot.com/search?q=Salsa+chicken This might work. We don't usually throw anything out if it wouldn't make us sick. I wouldn't use it for something where 'chicken taste and texture' is the primary flavor, but in something saucy and flavorful, you could shred it and it should be OK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bootsie Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I would use it to make something like chicken tortilla soup, dicing the chicken into small pieces (so the texture isn't too important) and allowing the spices of the soup to provide flavoring.

Catwoman Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 The good news is that @Spireais still here, so if she ate it, it didn’t kill her. At least not right away... 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
