HOW TO PROPERLY HANDLE RAW CHICKEN

Raw chicken is contaminated with microorganisms that can make people extremely ill. To avoid this, you must handle your raw chicken wings with care. Keep the following suggestions in mind:

1. Raw chicken should be chopped on a plastic cutting board that has been designated for this purpose.
2. After you’ve removed the chicken wings from the package, throw them away to avoid contaminating your countertops with bacteria.
3. Using hot, soapy water, thoroughly wash your hands before handling raw chicken wings for at least 20 seconds. A thorough cleaning of all surfaces that came into contact with the wings should be performed soon after completing the procedure. Cooking utensils, knives, and kitchen worktops are all examples of what you should avoid using your hands to clean.
4. Keep raw chicken and its liquids away from other items, especially those that will be consumed uncooked, such as celery sticks and dipping sauce, to avoid cross-contamination.

Is it possible to keep leftover chicken wings for an extended time?

In the refrigerator, oven-baked chicken wings will keep for four days if stored properly.

For a shelf life of more than four days, place the crispy baked chicken wings in a freezer bag.

1. Allow the wings to cool entirely before arranging them in a single layer on a baking sheet to finish baking.
2. Frozen cooked chicken wings should be transferred to freezer bags or containers after an hour of freezing on the baking sheet. If you’re using freezer bags, push out as much air as you can to maximize the amount of room you have.
3. The wings should be returned to the freezer, where they will keep well for up to three months.

HOW TO REHEAT FROZEN BAKED CHICKEN WINGS

Refrigerate the wings overnight to allow them to thaw completely. Once the wings have melted, spread them out on a baking sheet coated with aluminum foil and bake them until they are well heated through.
