If it was thawed properly and was not going bad when refrozen, yes. But the quality will not be as good.

Whilst I do not know if it is the same in Britain, in the US it is considered safe to refreeze raw chicken if it has been defrosted in a refridgerator, and has not been subsequently chilled for too long

Once chicken starts to thaw bacteria start to form. Re-freezing simply freezes these bacteria for later consumption. To be safe do not re-freeze meat, especially poultry. Yes. The partially defrosted chicken can be refrozen - if it has been defrosting in the refrigerator. Although putting food through multiple freeze-thaw cycles is never good for quality, we are not talking about enough time for pathogens to grow - and it will be cooked.

As per U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, "Meat and poultry defrosted in the refrigerator may be refrozen before or after cooking. If thawed by other methods, cook before refreezing."

If it still is solid when you change your mind, then you can refreeze it. Otherwise you have 2-3 days to cook it if you have kept it at least refrigerated.

Can you refreeze chicken thats been thawed in water?

It isn't generally safe to refreeze raw food. This is especially true for chicken, which is contaminated with salmonella at scary-high rates. If the chicken has thawed, it isn't generally safe to refreeze it and eat it later. This is especially true if it is thawed in room-temperature water rather than being thawed in the refrigerator. Once thawed, the chicken should be cooked fairly quickly. Once cooked, it can then be frozen for later consumption.
