teejay20, your question is one that I have difficulty in answering conclusively because I always understood and still believe that chickens should be stuffed just before cooking BUT it is possible to buy oven-ready i.e. already-stuffed frozen chickens. I do not buy the already-stuffed chickens and I personally would not take a fresh chicken, stuff it and then freeze it.
Sorry - that probably doesn't answer your question re " if it is safe to freeze chickens which have stuffing in them" but I guess it's possibly a matter of what risks one is prepared to take.:-))

Of course it is. Just cook it properly and thaw in fridge first. Tegel sell stuffed frozen chooks.

Yes, its fine.I work in the butchery of a large supermarket and we sell stuffed chooks that can be frozen.Just make sure you thaw well before cooking and cook properly.

Yes, although sometimes the blood and moisture from the chook soaks into the stuffing, so I actually remove it and if it looks bloody and yucky, put in some new stuffing just before cooking. But each to their own :)
