Roasted chicken and chicken fat are derived from chicken meat and its rendered fat.

These ingredients provide a savory chicken flavor and richness to food products.

Manufacturers use roasted chicken and chicken fat to add a concentrated chicken flavor and a rich mouthfeel to processed foods. They are commonly found in savory products such as canned soups, sauces, prepared meals, and snacks where a distinct chicken taste is desired.

Health notes
