What is the maximum duration for draining bone-in wings in the walk-in cooler?

The maximum duration for draining bone-in wings in the walk-in cooler is 15 minutes because this time frame ensures that the wings are allowed to rest and drain excess moisture effectively without compromising food safety or quality. Allowing the wings to sit for too long can increase the risk of bacterial growth due to prolonged exposure to temperatures that can promote spoilage. The 15-minute guideline strikes a balance between adequate drainage and maintaining food safety standards. This practice helps to enhance the texture and flavor of the wings by preventing excess water from diluting the seasoning and ensures that they cook evenly.
