My first choice for a food freezer is to plug it in to a single receptacle that's connected to a lighting circuit. That way you'll know if it has lost power. Food is expensive!
My second choice is a dedicated circuit.
Since the current is low, it'll likely work just fine on any circuit available.
One thing to watch out for, sometimes there's a GFI receptacle in the garage, and the bathroom receptacles are fed from it. This way, the bath receptacles are GFI protected, as required by code, but it's often a 15 amp circuit. A hairdryer loads a 15 amp circuit to the gills, and if the freezer is running, it might trip the breaker.
