Chicken base is a concentrated flavoring made from cooked chicken, chicken fat, and juices. It often includes salt, spices, and other ingredients to enhance its savory taste. It is typically produced by simmering chicken parts and then concentrating the resulting broth.

Manufacturers add chicken base to provide a rich, savory chicken flavor to a wide variety of foods. It is commonly used in soups, stews, sauces, gravies, and marinades. It can also be used to add depth of flavor to rice dishes, casseroles, and poultry seasonings.

Chicken base is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of sodium, and consumers looking to manage sodium intake should be mindful of its presence. JECFA has evaluated chicken fat and found it safe for consumption. No significant health controversies are associated with typical consumption of chicken base.
