What it is
This is a granulated bouillon product designed to provide a concentrated chicken flavor. It is made with salt, dehydrated chicken, and various seasonings.

How people cook with it

To use, dissolve the granules in hot water to create a flavorful chicken broth. The amount used can be adjusted to achieve the desired intensity of flavor. It can also be added directly to dishes like stews, casseroles, or stir-fries to boost their savory profile. For a more intense seasoning, it can be rubbed onto poultry or other meats before cooking, allowing the flavors to penetrate during the cooking process. It acts as a quick way to build a foundational taste.
