"In its list of ingredients, Domino's has two types of chicken toppings: Grilled chicken and barbecued chicken with sauce. For grilled chicken, the ingredients include chicken, seasonings, and modified food starch. Made from tapioca, corn, rice, potato, and other sources, food starch is often added to processed chicken to maintain texture. You may have noticed that the chicken you cook at home becomes tender and falls apart over time, which is how pulled or shredded chicken is made."
"But fast food chicken has a consistency unlike any chicken you can make yourself. It's almost gelatinous. This texture is due to the starches, which give it a boost so it holds up during packaging, shipping, and preparation. Let's go back to those seasonings for a moment. The grilled chicken, the simplest kind you might expect to be "just" chicken, contains a fairly extensive list of ingredients beyond the starch."
