Yes, you can cook the chicken in the bacon and freeze. Allow to completely defrost either on the counter top for a couple of hours, or in the fridge overnight. Reheat and check the temperature – if reheating from the fridge add a little to the cooking time. Once the meat is hot, pour off any juice and then add the Hunters Chicken BBQ sauce and cheese. Return to the oven until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese has melted.
