cooked chicken smells bad

why aren't you freezing the raw chicken and cooking for each meal?

My freezer smells fine too btw.

Cooking in one batch per week is more convenient.

>Once frozen, they smell like sulfur. They don't smell when raw or after reheating.
Chicken has extremely high sulfur content and arsenic, which makes it have that smell.
Seriously stop eating that shit, it may be healthier than pork, but it's not fucking healthy relative to some black beans.

are you squeezing as much air out from the bag as possible before freezing?

Why doesn't it smell while raw then? Does heat play a role?

I am. I throw them in the freezer with the bags partially open since they're still warmish and not completely cool. I close the bags later. Maybe the sulfur in the meat evaporates after cooking and gets trapped with the meat in the bag.

This might be your problem. try sealing it completely and cool it in the fridge, then before transferring to freezer re-open and re-seal after squeezing all the air out again.

I'll give it a shot. I don't want chicken cancer.

Heat naturally breaks down the biological structure of cells and thus some of the nutrients (or garbage) within are released or exposed and thus emit smells.
So yes.

It might smell like that raw if you leave it out for a day or two as it'll decompose a bit and thus the structure will get compromised.

lol okay enjoy your arsenic and sulfur burps m8

Welcome to /ck/ folks!

Of course it does. Heat makes chemicals evaporate thus allowing you to smell them.

Also:
1) Brining for 15 minutes is totally useless. It takes much longer than that to actually acheive anything.

2) Supermarket chicken is almost assuredly frozen before you bought it. Re-freezing meat is not a good idea. It's not dangerous, but it will fuck with the texture and flavor.

That makes sense.

Thanks for the heads up on brining. No wonder I couldn't taste the difference. I know the ice crystals fuck up the texture, but I'm just cooking for myself so I don't mind.
