What it is

Dried chicken is chicken meat that has had most of its water removed through drying. This process concentrates the flavor and extends shelf life. It is often used as a convenient source of chicken flavor and protein.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use dried chicken to add a savory chicken flavor and protein to foods without adding moisture. It is commonly found in dry soup mixes, seasonings, snack foods, and some pet foods.

Health notes

Dried chicken is considered a food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It provides protein and nutrients found in chicken. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many food ingredients, but specific evaluations for dried chicken as a distinct ingredient are not widely publicized. At typical consumption levels, it poses no known health risks.

Allergen info

Chicken is not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
