Chook Me!

Can you leave chicken wings in the frigerator over night?

I'm going to be busy in the morning and I usually don't have time to go out to a fast food place to eat while on the job. I wanted to know was it ok to let the chicken wings marinate in hot sauce over night for mabey about 7 hours?

1. Yep. I usually like to marinate most chicken for about 5 or 6 hours.
2. Just hot sauce? It would probably be ok as long as the hot sauce doesn't have vinegar in it.
3. Absolutely. They will taste great.
4. That's what I do.
5. perfectly ok. just make sure they are at the bottom of the fridge, tightly covered abd your fridge temp. doesn't exceed 40 degrees F.
6. sure thats really good and still taste like yum!
7. to ensure freshness, according to the food safety system in the hotel i work in and also complying with HACCP.. ambient temperature = 4 hours chiller(fridge) = 48 hours freezer = 5 days anything beyond that is not fresh unless properly sealed..
8. Sure, they will taste better that way
9. As long as your refrigerator is below 40 degrees, which it should be, you wiil be fine. The dangerous temperatures for food are between 40 and 140 degrees F. These temperatures are the most dangerous for bacteria to grow. You can marinade other meats like beef like that too. Adds a little zest by marinating.
10. I am vegetarian, but I think its OK if your stomach can digest it after leaving it in fridge for 7 hrs.
11. That's why the refrigerator was invented, my friend. Try it. The longer you marinate meat, the more flavor will seep into/inside the meat. The result, even tastier chicken.
12. I asked my chicken and she said freshly cooked kosher chicken, you got three days, otherwise it's an abomination.
13. It is fine if you let them sit over night. just use different , new sauce for dipping when you are eating them. Marinateing is fine but for sure check the vin. content. makes the chicken sour, yukie. If you were to toss them and put on a pan to throw in the oven when you get home with one more tos in the sauce will work very well also.
14. Sounds good, you are making me hungry
15. the long you marinate your chicken wings the better it will taste... some people i know use marinate for few hours and it still come out good..
16. 7 hours is ample time for the wings to soak up all the flavours,yes thats not too long.
17. yeh - the longer the better-
18. Yes, sure you can do it, and do u know that for best results, after marinate the chicken, fish or meat, keep it in the fridge at least for 8 hours(it is always recommended )
19. For sure. As long as theyre refrigerated they are good for a couple days. no worries
20. I don't see why not as long as they are cooked prior to eating and the sauce is cooked. They should be nice and saturated throughout.
