Buffalo Wild Wings(email 3/04/09)
Please note the preparation process below for the fried items in regards to the crossover of food. The Naked chicken tenders do not contain gluten however they are cooked on the grill. They should not be cooked on the same part of the grill as the burgers and they should use separate utensil (however I cannot guarantee). You can speak with the manager at the location.
Preparation Processes: - Our Traditional Wings are a fresh chicken product that we deep fry at 350'F and shake in the sauce of choice. - Our Boneless Wings are a breaded chicken product that is also fried at 350'F and then shook in the sauce of choice. The same container is used to sauce the boneless and the traditional wings.
- Our grilled chicken products and burger products are cooked on a 550'F char broiler, a grill seasoning is applied at the time of cooking the seasoning does contain Dairy and Soy. The Burgers do contain gluten. - Our Tortilla chips are fried fresh in the restaurant.
As a note, in the preparation process of all our fried items we do not segregate individual product into separate fryers when they are cooked so there is the potential of crossover of fried items and oil in the fryers.
In regards to the frying oil, we use a Beef Tallow Shortening from Cargill to fry all of our products. The Shortening Ingredient Statement Lists: Deodorized Beef Tallow, BHT and Citric Acid (to protect flavor), Dimethylpolysiloxane (added as a stabilizer).
We hope you find this information helpful.
