Freezing Teriyaki Chicken Legs

I have been asked if you can freeze the cooked chicken legs.  I have never tried to do this and imagine if you did when you thawed them the skin would be soggy and inedible.  The original recipe made enough for 2 people for 1 meal as well as leftovers for an additional couple of meals. 

I would recommend two different options:
1.  Simply halving the recipe if you do not want to be eating this recipe for a few days. 
Or
2.  After 2 days of marinating the raw chicken legs you could place them into freezer bags with some marinade prior to cooking and freeze until you are ready to cook them.  When you are ready to cook them thaw in your refrigerator and cook as directed on the original recipe.  This will ensure that the skin stays crispy and the chicken does not become over cooked from reheating.
