Freeze Dried White Chicken

Please be aware the small cans of chicken are packaged in pull-top cans. I realize there are reports indicating pull-tops are as secure as the cans that require a can opener. My need is for long-term storage and I'm not convinced pull tops are as secure. I would not have purchased this product had I been aware of the packaging.

This was my first time eating freeze dried meat---pleasantly surprised. Would suggest anyone to try it. Can really save you time and of course it tastes good, really good.

Tastes like fresh chicken. Texture, I agree with a couple other reviewers, let it soak longer than the label says for "hot" water. Boiling water works best. I'm lucky that I have a local storefront/outlet that I can pick up from, so no chicken powder at the bottom of the can. Some folks say it's pricey - try this on for size: the large can is 26 half cup servings (13 cups) for $42.09. One of the other guys sells 6 pouches of 4 quarter cup servings (6 cups) for $84.95 on sale, regular price $119.95. Um, Honeyville, how do you do it?

I use this in preparing backpacking meals. It is the cheapest freeze dried chicken I could find and the quality is OK. I dehydrate my own chicken broth and mix this and dehydrated and freeze dried vegetables and some grains with it. I use Honeyville vegetables for things I don't grow and dehydrate myself. Makes good casserole type one-pot meals. For me, the fact that it turns to powder is OK. I need the protein and am not picky whether it's fine, or chunks.

I ordered the chicken as well as the Freeze Dried Sausage. About the only positive thing I can say about the chicken is that it is better than the sausage, but that ain't saying much. The texture is ok but it is completely devoid of any aroma or flavor. There is a marked improvement when I re-hydrate it in a can of chicken broth but it just does not seem to me that this especially at the price should be necessary. Will not buy again. I purchased several items to try them out and am glad I did not place a large order. So far I am at least for me that freeze dried is not the way to go. I am planning on purchasing a pressure caner and will instead can my own meats.

My husband loves Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup from the can but the other day I made it from my food storage and made him eat it. I made the recipe for the pint jar size and he had multiple bowls from that tiny pint jar! He now will only eat my homemade chicken noodle soup. I love the ease and flavor and quality of Honeyville, I have other brands too but, Honeyville is quickly becoming my favorite. Most of all I love knowing that with a husband that is ill should he be forced to take medical leave we will, if nothing else, be able to eat as I started food storage a few years ago.

I don't think it can be done better. The chicken re-hydrates to chicken you'd serve your momma. My expedition won't be settling for just some food if we don't catch fish. They will be full and satisfied with any dish I make with this ingredient.

More powder even than the turkey. I keep it in the cupboard so it doesn't get shakes a lot.

I have used on several expeditions and backpacking trips. The one down side to this product...It turns to dust quickly if not protected while in your pack. Even then it is still good, lol.

i used this chicken to make Alfredo Parmesan and it turned out perfectly!! cut my prep time by 3/4ths since i didnt need to bake/boil the chicken first!! i was a little disappointed with the "powdered chicken" in the bottom of can but since have learned to shake the can first and add to the water for more flavoring! delivery was extremely fast!!
