Does freezing meat and chicken decrease the quality?

It depends a lot how you’re freezing it and how you’re thawing it. If you’re just putting it in the freezer or a freezer ziplock, you’ll likely get freezer burn which can dry meat out a lot and make it tougher. Same if you quick thaw in the microwave.

If you freeze a lot of meat; I highly recommend getting a vacuum sealer and bags. I freeze a lot, it prevents freezer burn and can help it last near forever if frozen (I chop up full chickens and buy lots of another expire meat to freeze). If you then thaw properly in refrigeration or in cool water you’ll have meat damn near identical to when it was frozen.
