Boston Market Garlic Herb Glaze

High histamine

This glaze is high because it is built on chicken stock plus several cooking wines and vinegar.

Food here is usually assembled to order from components that were prepped earlier in the day, so it tends to be fresher than a drive-through and less fresh than cooking at home. Histamine builds up as protein foods sit, so how long the chicken or beef has been in the warmer matters as much as what is in the bowl. Treat the rating above as a starting point.

This is a rich glaze made from chicken stock, butter, cream, garlic, onions, and several wine and vinegar elements.

  • Cooking wines and vinegar — the chablis and sherry cooking wines and the rice wine vinegar are all high, and alcohol-based ingredients can also block the enzyme that clears histamine.

  • Chicken stock — long-simmered stock tends to run high, and here it forms the base of the whole glaze, so the butter and cream can't pull it back down.

A dish finished with plain garlic butter instead of this glaze sits much lower.
