How long can you hold pre-cooked bone-in wings in the hot holding cabinet?

The maximum time pre-cooked bone-in wings can be held in a hot holding cabinet is 2 hours. This duration is in line with food safety guidelines designed to ensure that food remains safe for consumption while also maintaining its quality and temperature. Holding food for longer than this recommended period may increase the risk of bacterial growth, which can occur if the food is not kept at the proper temperature or if it exceeds safe holding times. In a fast-paced kitchen environment, it is crucial to adhere to these time limits to minimize foodborne illness risks and ensure the health and safety of customers.

Although other options suggest longer times, they exceed what is established for safe food handling in commercial kitchens, where regulatory standards are designed to protect public health.
