I really need to stay away from restaurant depot... for some reason unbeknownst to me, I bought a 40lb. Case of miscut chicken wings. They won't all look pretty but for weeknight meals and experimenting with different wing sauces, the price was too good to pass up.

So they are frozen in 4 separate ten pound blocks. Have had two of those bags in the fridge for about 3 days and they are still almost completely frozen. Fridge is tempting at about 38 degrees. I wanted to thaw a bunch so that I can vacuum seal in smaller portions to refreeze. So here is the problem. I have to go away for work on Saturday...will be gone until Tuesday. If they don't thaw by Saturday morning, and are still too solid to seperate, will they be ok to leave in the fridge for 3-4 days since they were previously frozen. My wife unfortunately won't even be around most of the weekend to keep an eye on them.

I know it's a wait and see how thawed they are type of situation but I was wondering your opinions. Thanks!

The surface wings will be 9 days thawed by tues. Start removing thawed wings a couple times a day so frozen portions are exposed...JJ
 
Gotta love it when a plan comes together...
