Applebee's Boneless Chicken Wings
These boneless wings run high, mostly from the soy protein concentrate in the breaded chicken.
Most of this is cooked to order, which is the best case for histamine. Even so, a restaurant kitchen preps ahead and holds things warm through a service, so freshness varies more than it would at home. The rating above comes from the chain's published ingredients. If a dish is borderline for you, asking how it is prepared tells you more than the menu does.
These are bite-size chicken pieces built on soy protein with a seasoned wheat-flour breading, fried in soybean oil.
-
Soy protein concentrate — the concentrated soy at the core of these wings is the main high driver here, so it sets the tone for the whole plate no matter how it is sauced.
-
Breading and fry oil — the bleached wheat flour coating and the soybean oil it fries in each land moderate, which keeps things elevated on top of the soy.
There is no clean tweak that drops the soy base, so a simpler grilled option is the better call.
