Is it safe to eat a chicken that has been frozen for a year?
Charley4100
Chicken - if properly packaged and stored consistently at 0°F - should keep for up to a year and maybe even longer. From a microbiological standpoint, no bacteria would grow while it was frozen.
Of course, for it to be safe to eat, the chicken will need to be cooked to the proper temperature.

∙ 14y agoMost freezers, like the one attached to your refrigerator, chill at around twenty degrees Fahrenheit. A turkey will remain fresh and tasty for about six months in a typical freezer. the turkey begins to lose flavor after six months, and will probably taste like sawdust at the twelve-month mark, though it wills till be edible. Deep freezers used for home bulk storage chill at zero degrees Fahrenheit, and will double the safe storage time. If this has been cooling its heels above your fridge for two years, toss it. It's not worth the effort, and you have wasted more money keeping it frozen than you would if you bought yourself a nice fresh turkey. Walmart is currently selling frozen turkeys for 40 cents a pound. I would recommend you defrost one of theirs instead of the fossil you've been storing in your freezer.

∙ 13y agoIt really depends on the type of meat you are talking about. For safe freezing, meat should be kept in it's original wrapping, then re-wrapped again, in foil or plastic bags, and marked, if being stored long-term, with the date.
Guidelines:
A beef or pork roast or steaks, can, if safely stored, be kept in a freezer for up to one year. Pork chops up to 8 months. Ham (gammon) up to 3 months. Ground (minced) and stew meats, up to 3 months. Hot Dogs no more than 2 months. Previously cooked meats up to 3 months.

Is it safe to eat chicken that has been frozen for 3 years?
Bacteria growth would not be a problem since the pathogenic type won't grow at proper freezer temperatures. The fat in the chicken most likely has become rancid and the meat may have developed other off flavors. It could be OK, but it is hardly worth the effort to find out. Toss it out.
