What oil does Firebirds Wood Fired Grill fry in?

Firebirds Wood Fired Grill fries in soybean oil.

In detail: Fryer oil is soybean oil (confirmed via a U.S. Soy industry case study where Firebirds tested high-oleic soybean oil against its standard soybean frying oil, food.ussoy.org); wood-fired steaks/salmon/chicken are grilled, not fried, keeping the core menu naturally low-PUFA aside from butter basting.

Why the frying oil matters

Most fast-food chains fry in seed oils like soybean, canola, corn, or a blend of them, which are high in polyunsaturated fat (PUFA). A handful still use beef tallow or other stable fats, which are far lower in PUFA. The oil a kitchen fries in is the single biggest driver of how much seed oil ends up on your plate. See the full breakdown on the Firebirds Wood Fired Grill report card, or where it lands on the Seed Oil Index. See which chains fry in real fats on Tallow Watch.
