Yes. Cool the chicken quickly and use packaging designed for the freezer. Remove air pockets and seal the packaging tightly. Plan to use it in six months or less. It will not improve with age, so using it sooner is better. Use individual pieces more quickly. If it is frozen with broth, it will keep longer.

That sounds like a really risky thing to do as chicken is notorious for casing salmonella poisoning, salmonella is a micro organism found in of chicken that can make a person very ill or even dead.

Is it better to freeze partially or fully cooked chicken?

Your main concern will be from the potential contamination that happens in the defrosting process. Although many types of bacteria will die if exposed to freezing temperatures, there are those that don't. You should look into that for the bacteria that is typically found in raw chicken. It may be that those bacterium can only be cooked out of the food. I wouldn't risk it.
