A whole chicken can keep up to a year in the freezer. Frozen chicken parts can last up to 9 months. But that will depend on how good the freezer is at maintaining temperature and how well the chicken is packaged for freezing. Make sure the chicken is packed securely and air-tight. Use packaging designed for freezing.
Leftover cooked chicken, fried chicken and restaurant or convenience store chicken keeps in a freezer for about four months. Use frozen chicken broth or gravy within two to three months, and eat frozen chicken casserole or soup within four to six months. Chicken will be safe to eat indefinitely, as long as your freezer stays below 0 degrees F. However, it may lose quality with time.
