Can I refreeze or do I need to cook it?

Took out chicken yesterday (chicken cutlets) for I did not know I was going to a town fair today. I ate so much and am trying to diet so can I refreeze this or do I need to cook it tonight. Its already defrosted so either I need to refreeze, cook tonight or cook tomorrow. Help I usually cook my foods immediately after they defrost. Thanks
should I cook them tonight or can it wait till tomorrow? I may just cook it then freeze some of them.
 
As long as you defrosted it the safe way (under cool running water or in the fridge) then you can cook it tomorrow without issues. You can refreeze it but I wouldn't suggest that, you will most likely end up with freezer burnt chicken that way.

If you left it out on the counter to thaw I wouldn't suggest eating it anyway…but usually there aren't problems, if you want to cook it tonight you can. However, don't save this chicken for later OR freeze it unless you want to get very sick.
