Every sunday I got to BW3s and get chicken wings- How long are they safe to eat in the fridge?

Question

Every sunday I get chicken wings at BW3s. How long will they stay safe to eat? 1 day? 3 days? 7 days?

Historically I throw them out on Weds if I don't eat them by then- however, I was just about to microwave them and eat them for a snack tonight when I got worried that it may not even be safe! Anyone know what the rules of thumb are?

Answer 1

Under proper refrigeration, it can hold for max 7 day.  You don't want to keep it any longer than that.  Reheating it sooner the better.  Make sure that when you do reheat it, you heat it to an internal temp of 165 and hold that temp for at least 15 seconds. This is the safest way to reheat food.

Answer 2

Smell first then taste a little, if you can't detect anything wrong, it sounds ok.

Normally chicken can last fridged 5-7 days max, but depends where it was cooked.

Fast food places the big chains, have a"so long to live" policy, and they would be fine, if bought from asian or local takeaway I would be iffy.

Bon appetit.
