you shouldn't refreeze raw frozen chicken if you let it defrost but don't cook it.
if you thaw a frozen chicken and then cook it, you can freeze the cooked meat.
it's the same for any meat.
caslass, tuesday would be the last day i would eat any leftovers from your chicken. must have been a big chicken to have got a roast and a salad out of it and still have lots left over. it wouldn't last that long in our house :)

And don't forget after you strip the chicken from the bones, put the bones in a saucepan of water with onions, herbs, seasoning and boil it to make some wonderful chicken stock.; you then use the stock to make your curry or whatever - really adds to the flavour, or you can freeze the stock for later.
My Mum is 78. She's a widow and for the past few years she has bought a fresh chicken on a Friday. She roasts it on Saturday and leaves it out til bedtime then fridges it. She uses it cold for a roast on Sunday. On the following 3 days she will take it out of the fridge and cuts what she wants and uses it in various recipes. Then on the 4th day she boils the bones, removing the last of the meat, adds some veg and rice and gets meal 5 from it.
I don't recommend it, I tell her I don't like her doing it but she's her own person and far from suffering ill effects from it - as I speak.
