freezing a whole chicken

Options
Morning people

My shopping was delivered this morning and the chicken goes out of date on Sunday but I don't want to use it til Tuesday. I have never frozen a whole chicken before. How long will it take to defrost in the fridge?
I'm trying so hard to be thrifty, but it doesn't come naturally. You lot are an inspiration!

  • recommend 5hrs per pound in the fridge on a plate to catch drips and bottom shelf, check inside the cavity to check for ice crystals in case it needs longer x

    In this cold weather , leave it out in the sink Monday night

    Mind it wouldn't kill not freezing it. Unwrap it, put in a pie dish on the bottom of the fridge. Change the dish daily as it will be the leaking blood that will cause it to smell
