How to Properly Handle Raw Chicken
Raw chicken has bacteria that can make people very sick. For that reason, it’s important to handle your uncooked chicken wings properly. Keep these tips in mind:
- Use a dedicated plastic cutting board for raw chicken.
- After removing the chicken wings, throw away any packaging so that it doesn’t contaminate your counter tops.
- Wash your hands in hot, soapy water for at least 20 seconds before handling raw chicken wings. Afterward, wash anything that has come in contact with the wings. This includes your hands, cooking utensils, knives, kitchen counters, etc.
- Do not allow raw chicken or its juices to touch any other foods, especially foods that will be eaten uncooked, like celery sticks and dipping sauce.
How Long Can You Keep Leftover Chicken Wings?
Oven baked chicken wings will keep well in the refrigerator for up to four days.
If you want to keep these crispy baked chicken wings for longer than four days, then simply freeze them.
- Allow the wings to cool completely, then place them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Place the sheet into the freezer for about an hour, then transfer the frozen baked chicken wings into freezer bags or containers. If you use freezer bags, squeeze out as much air as possible to save space.
- Return the wings to the freezer where they will keep well for up to three months.
How to Reheat Frozen Baked Chicken Wings
Allow the wings thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Once they are thaw, place the wings on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake them in a 350F oven for 15-20 minutes or until heated through.
