What happens if previously frozen meat is refrozen thawed cooked eaten?

If you don't notice any funny smells or discoloration prior to cooking the meat, probably nothing.
Thawing, storing, then freezing meat multiple times is a great way to not only ruin the flavor of the meat, but to keep bad, rancid, or dangerous meat around longer than you need to. In my experience, perfectly OK meat that has been thawed, then stored in a fridge for a day, and then frozen again almost always is rancid upon its second thawing.
Never cook bad meat--its a waste of time, tastes bad and can make you sick!

∙ 14y agoPossibly nothing will happen if it was properly handled before refreezing and then properly cooked. It may not be of very good quality, but it could be safe. So much depends upon the type of packaging, the temperatures that the thawed chicken reached and for how long it reached those temperatures.
If you don't know the temperature and handling history of the refrozen chicken, it might be better to not eat it.
