Thanks Alex. I'm sure that would help. Normally we use it up long before 
any freezer burn starts. For some reason, we were slow using up that 
last bag. It's used up now and we have purchased another bag. If we 
wrapped the chicken pieces in moist paper, we would have to thaw it to 
remove the paper. As it comes from the store, loose in the bag, we can 
just pull out 2 or 3 pieces and my wife often puts them in the oven, 
still frozen, and adds seasonings of different types. They turn out good.

To get back on topic...

I've been thinking about the person who thought maybe freezing scions in 
a solid block of ice would crush it. I'm thinking I may freeze a scion 
that way, leave it frozen for a few weeks, then try grafting it, 
probably back on the same tree. It wouldn't prove how long the scion 
would survive that way but I expect it would prove it does not get 
damaged by the initial freezing process.
