Chopped up and down and frozen (5)
I believe the answer is:
diced
'chopped up' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'down and frozen' is the wordplay.
'down' becomes 'd'.
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'frozen' becomes 'iced' (I've seen this before).
'd'+'iced'='DICED'
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for diced that I've seen before include "Cut into small cubes" , "cut into little pieces?" , "Gambled or cut into cubes" , "Chopped into cubes" , "Cubed" .)
