"Burger King's nuggets and chicken fries have the longest list of ingredients. Although many of these are used in the breading, batter, and what the chain refers to as "predusting," the chicken portion of the recipe includes chicken meat, water, flavorings (including added chicken fat and chicken broth powder), isolated oat product, modified food starch, and phosphates. Even the Original Chicken Sandwich is a composite of chicken meats, isolated oat product, and flavorings."
"Across platforms like Tripadvisor, Reddit, and Facebook, there are also multiple reports of the chicken being inconsistently cooked and even served raw to customers. What are all those extra ingredients for? Deutschlandreform/Shutterstock It's easy enough to let the long list of ingredients put you off, but it's more helpful to understand what they're all used for. Flavorings are fairly self-explanatory, and in many cases include natural flavors you might add to your own food such as onion, garlic, or spices."
Burger King chicken menu items often contain mixed chicken meats combined with non-meat additives such as isolated oat product, modified food starch, and phosphates. Nuggets and chicken fries list water, flavorings (including added chicken fat and chicken broth powder), and other stabilizers alongside chicken. The Original Chicken Sandwich uses composite chicken meats and isolated oat product. Some sandwiches are formed from a mix of breast and rib meat plus starch and seasonings rather than a single fillet. Multiple customer and employee reports note inconsistent cooking, including occurrences of undercooked or raw chicken. Seasonings include flavorings and maltodextrin, a preservative and stabilizer.
