Steve, try to store your freesed chicken wrapped close in a multilayer moist paper to see if the mentioned dried out areas arise. Dont forget that the chicken is dead and boiled. The scion wood is living matherial.
Nevertheless I told my experience to help persons having the problem with moving buds.

That isn't quite true. Again, I can't use actual scion wood as an
example because I have never frozen any scion wood.
However, we do buy frozen chicken breasts in a big zip-lock bag. If we
don't use it all in a few months, there is some visible freezer burn
(dried out areas on the surface of the chicken) and there is a handfull
of ice crystals, much like snow, in the bottom of the bag. Obviously,
water moved out of the chicken pieces and into the rest of the bag, even
though the plastic bag is sealed shut.
