Now that folks at Domino's Pizza are finished revamping their pizza recipe, they've turned their attention to their chicken offerings, introducing new Boneless Chicken (basically nuggets), and a reboot of their Chicken Wings. Here's how they rate:

The Claims: Domino's new Boneless Chicken is "lightly breaded with savory herbs, made with 100% white breast meat." The revamped wings are "now tastier than ever. Sauced with your choice of Hot, New Sweet Mango Habanero or BBQ Sauce." The Boneless Chicken can be "customized" with those same three sauces for dipping, in addition to the standards, Ranch or Blue Cheese dressing.

The Price: Boneless Chicken comes in 8-, 14-, or 40-piece combos, at $6.99 (410 calories), $10.99 (710 calories), or $29.99 (2030 calories), respectively. The new wings also come in eight, fourteen, or forty, for the same prices. (580-680 calories, 1010-1200 calories, 2890-3420 calories, respectively.)

Cooking on the Dark Side: Black Chicken

A little black dress is always the go-to for high style. But a black chicken? It worked for chef Rick Moonen, who made it into a mousse for his stint on Top Chef Masters. Far from the pale yellowish tinge of its plain old chicken sisters, the Silkie may have fluffy pale feathers but its bones and flesh are the shade of onyx (it has a genetic combination that causes the color, as a result of melanin), and has a rich, gamey flavor to match. Some cooks say there's literally no flavor difference between traditional and black chickens. You'll have to judge for yourself. Will it look a little off-putting in your chicken divan? Of course it will. But it's almost Halloween after all, and, something about this chicken says macabre.


According to the Chinese, who have for millennia eaten black chicken (which in China is called wu gu ji, or black-boned chicken), putting the dark poultry into a stew or soup may be just the thing to cure a cold,cramps, or a headache. Some people have called it an anti-oxidant powerhouse -- a true superfood. But don't look for Silkies at your local Piggly Wiggly market. Urban Asian markets are where you'll find these midnight-colored chickens, but it's worth the search. As a very wise man once said, black is beautiful.

Moroccan Chicken with Apricot Olive Relish - Feast Your Eyes


You can make a tagine in a regular cast-iron pot with an enameled bottom, but to use the traditional cone-topped ceramic vessel for which the stew is named is to do your cooking a huge favor. The tagine, a North African casserole dish, traps the steam in the cone while the stew is cooking, and sends it back down to the pot. The result? Moist, tender meat and fragrant fruits and vegetables. Bloggers the bittenword combined classic sweet and savory flavors using chicken, apricots, and olives. Experiment with these recipes for Moroccan chicken and couscous, Moroccan chicken breasts, and a chicken tagine with pomegranates.

Pomegranate Chicken Salad - Feast Your Eyes


The chicken Waldorf salad goes East, with garam masala and coriander seed. In blogger arsheffield's recipe, pomegranate seeds add a tart crunch, and red grapes, a smooth, sweetness. He builds on the textures with green bell peppers and celery, and even tosses in some parsley for color and subtle flavor.

Waldorf chicken salads make the most of fruit. In this Kitchen Daily recipe, raisins, dates, apples or pears and even cranberry sauce is in the mix, along with toasted almonds.
