Buffalo Wild Wings Buffalo Chicken Tots
These tots run high because of the bleu cheese, pickled peppers, buffalo sauce, and ranch on top.
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.
The tots and pulled chicken are mild, but the toppings pile on several high-histamine items.
-
Bleu cheese and ranch — the bleu cheese crumbles are an aged cheese, and both it and the creamy ranch land high, driving the whole plate up.
-
Pickled peppers and buffalo sauce — the pickled hot peppers are high from being pickled, and the medium buffalo sauce is high as well.
A plainer order without the sauced, pickled, and cheesy toppings would sit much lower.
