A whole chicken can keep up to a year in the freezer. Frozen chicken parts can last up to 9 months.

Cooked chicken products can be frozen for up to four months for long-term storage. Processed chicken nuggets or patties have a slightly shorter frozen life and should be used within three months of freezing.
