What is Chicken base?
A concentrated paste or powder of cooked chicken, fat, and salt used to build stock and boost savory depth. Shelf-stable, sold in tubs (typically 1 lb) or bulk jars.
Backbone of soups, gravies, risotto, and rice pilaf across nearly every NYC kitchen — matzo ball soup in delis, congee in Chinese spots, sauce mounting in line stations when real stock runs out.

Order by the case
It's spec'd by the case, with per-piece or per-pound shown where it helps you line up suppliers. Match the pack to your usage so it turns over before it ties up cash on the shelf.
Check the label: chicken should be the first ingredient, not salt. Watch your dilution ratio — it's salt-heavy, so season the dish last. Refrigerate paste after opening.
