    Yes this will be fine.  As with freezer bags make sure you get as much air out to the bags as you can to avoid freezer burn.

    That will be fine, I have also just frozen it in the pack it comes in if you will be able to use them all when defrosted, otherwise separate and freeze as you said. :)

    If you've got plastic lunchboxes, or those little tubs from takeaway places, they work a treat!

    I double wrap in cling film, first wrap up and down, the second wrap side to side, making sure all air is removed

    Hi everyone. 
    Thank you all for advice. I wrapped chicken in a cling film and put to the small plastic bags. They're now in the freezer.
