I freeze lots of chiles each year. I either chop them
up, seed if necessary, and then place them in a bag
and roll the bag up to get all the air out and seal
it. I freeze them just like that. They do break down a
bit but usually I want them for cooking and not for
salsa or something raw so this works out well.
If you want the chiles for something fresh tasting,
freezing won't do I feel. They break down and get a
bit soft so for chili or something cooked that is
perfect.
I would think that no matter how you preserve them
(even drying them), they will be soft when you either
thaw or hydate.
Just my opinion,
