Tools Needed

Work Safe

  • Wash hands before starting work and after handling anything not food related
  • Gloves -- If leaving workstation or changing tasks, wash hands and change gloves
  • Cook temp: Fillet 165°F/17 seconds
  • Hold temp: 135°F minimum all cooked foods
  • Wash, rinse, sanitize all utensils and surfaces every 4 hours
  • Never operate the microwave without food inside. This could result in damage to the equipment and cause a fire.
  • To prevent cross-contamination, always store raw meat and dairy products away from produce and condiments
  • To cut a sandwich in half if requested, place biscuit splitter on top of sandwich and place free hand on top of the blade to hold the bun. Do not hold bun from side while cutting.
  • Raw chicken filet breast must be time and temperature controlled for safety (TCS). Keep raw chicken fillet breast refrigerated and iced to maintain a temperature of 34°F - 41°F until ready to cook.
  • Raw chicken fillet breast must be stored on the dunnage racks in the walk-in cooler
  • CAUTION: You must take every step necessary to avoid cross-contamination when handling chicken. Clean and sanitize the breading station after breading chicken fillet breast.  Do not store any other food item around the chicken where any chicken liquid can splash on the food item.  Never store chicken above any other food item.  Never store other food items on top of chicken boxes.  Keep a good distance between any other food item and chicken.

Receiving and Storage

  • Raw chicken fillet breasts are received twice each week. The temperature of the chicken fillet breast at delivery must be between 28°F and 32°F. All cases of raw chicken fillet breast will have a “use by” (expiration) date marked on them. Never accept cases of raw chicken fillet breast that do not have at least 5 days remaining before it expires.
  • For example: If you have received a case of raw chicken fillet breast with an expiration date of the 22nd, you could not receive the case of chicken after the 18th. See chart below.
Date 9th 10th 11th 12th 13th 14th 15th 16th 17th 18th 19th 20th 21st 22nd
