Fresh whole chicken should be refrigerated immediately at temperatures below 40°F (4°C). Store it in its original packaging or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or a resealable bag on the bottom shelf of your refrigerator to prevent juices from dripping onto other foods. Use or freeze within 1-2 days of purchase. For longer storage, freezing is recommended. Whole chicken can be frozen for up to 9-12 months. Thaw frozen chicken in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before cooking; never thaw at room temperature.
