How to freeze slow cooker satay chicken
Satay chicken is suitable to freeze at the end of step 3. Slow-cooked meals will freeze for up to 3 months. There is usually a large quantity of liquid so transfer the meat to appropriate-sized freezer-friendly containers, then pour in enough of the liquid to cover the meat. Leave a 2.5cm space between the food and the lid to allow for expansion, then seal the container. Label and date the container before placing it in the freezer.
