frozen chicken

Preserved bird meat

Frozen chicken is poultry that has been processed and preserved at low temperatures for storage and later use.

The term appears in cooking instructions, grocery lists, and meal planning: I need to thaw the frozen chicken before dinner.

It contrasts with fresh chicken, which hasn't been frozen and typically commands a higher price.
