About Chicken base

Chicken base is a concentrated seasoning preparation used to make broth or add chicken flavor to soups, sauces, and other dishes. It is commonly sold as a paste, though powdered and other forms are also available.

Its color and texture vary from pale tan powder to darker, thick paste, and its flavor is savory and chicken-like. Ingredients can include chicken stock or meat, salt, fats, and seasonings; the name does not define a single recipe.
