I would imagine they die quite quickly... 36 minutes tops!

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

If it's raw it's about 9 months, I think. If it's been cooked then about 3 months.

As long as you want. After a while it may start to get freezer burn but it won't go off.... That why we freeze things.

They advise up to 9-12 months, depending whether they’re pieces or a whole bird.

Raw up to six months.

Cooked you shouldn't reheat cooked chicken.

Who do? Chicken producers?

Freezing halts the bacteria multiplying completely so there is absolutely no food safety reason why you should only freeze it fir a certain period of time. The only reason would be deterioration of muscle fibres causing freezer burn and the meat to have an unpleasant texture.

Providing it is heated right through there is no issue with reheating chicken. Again, heat destroys bacteria and so heating it so it is piping hot through the thickest part will make it safe.

Bacteria are dormant once frozen.

The freezing process removes warmth and moisture hence the bacteria becoming dormant and then cannot multiply.

As long as you have labeled and stored at the correct temp -18C

Your food is OK.
