I ordered some baked chicken today, or so I thought it was baked, but I ended up getting barbequed sauce not sauce-free baked chicken. I thought about eating it, but then I started reading the ingredients. You can see them listed here:
CHICKEN INGREDIENTS: Up to 14% of the solution is water, salt, and sodium phosphates.
No mention of chicken.
BREADING INGREDIENTS: Wheat flour, salt, soy flour, Red Pepper, Canola, or Soybean oil, Non-fat Milk, Garlic Powder, Eggs, Spices, Natural Flavor [what's that?], Disodium Inosinate, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein.
Canola or Soybean Oil? They're not sure? Is it a blend of the two? They're not sure.
SEASONING INGREDIENTS: Salt, Nonfat Milk, Natural Flavor [again, what is that?], Cellulose Gum, Disodium Inosinate, Silicon Dioxide.
What is Natural Flavor?
FRYING OIL INGREDIENTS: (Triumph Zero Trans Creamy Liquid Fry Shortening) Liquid and Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Canola Oil, TBHQ, and Citric Acid added to protect flavor. Dimethylpolysiloxane, an anti-foaming agent added.
