Freezing cooked chicken thighs

[John Furdyn]

May seem like a dumb question.
How well do smoked chicken thighs freeze ? I would like to minimize loost flavor as well as texture, if posible. Any tips to do this will be appreciated.
Thanks, John

I have vac sealed and froze split breasts and felt they came out pretty good; however, as with most things, not as good as fresh.

I frequently cook four "beer butt" chickens, cut them into quarters, vacuum seal and freeze them. Like Paul said, not quite as good as right out of the smoker, but very good. Be careful not to overcook them in the process of thawing and heating them up.

Guess it's worth a try. It just seems to me, since my Brinkman "cookncajun" cooker has two shelfs. Makes sense to fill them up, Cook 2 batches and freeze the one.
Happy Smoking!!!
