Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Buffalo Wings expire?
Store-bought buffalo wings have a shelf life of about 1-2 days in the fridge once the package has been opened. Unopened, they can last up to a week past the sell by date, but please always check the 'best-by date' on the package. If you decide to freeze them, they can stay good for up to 4 months. Homemade buffalo wings should be eaten within 2 days if stored in the fridge and up to 4 months in the freezer.
How do you tell if Buffalo Wings is bad?
You can tell if buffalo wings have gone bad through a few key signs: there's a strong off smell, the color has become dull or they've developed a slimy texture. Always remember, if in doubt, it's safer to just throw them out!
Tips for storing Buffalo Wings to extend shelf life
• Always refrigerate buffalo wings within 2 hours of cooking or purchasing.
• Store them in an airtight container or aluminum foil in the refrigerator to keep them fresh longer.
• If freezing, make sure to wrap them tightly in heavy duty freezer bags to prevent freezer burn.
• When defrosting, it's best to defrost in the fridge overnight before reheating, rather than defrosting at room temperature.
