The Latest Epicurian Delight....Chicken Salt
That right, popular in Australia, it's now making its way to our shores
“Packed with mouth-watering umami and rich flavors, chicken salt is the seasoning you need in your life and on your snacks.
It’s from Australia, which makes sense since, as a country they seem to know what they're doing when it comes to powerfully savory, explosively flavorful condiments (we’re looking at you, Vegemite). In fact, in the land down under, chicken salt is so ubiquitous, it's the default seasoning for fast food fries, a move that’s controversial among some Aussies.
But something like chicken salt isn’t a stranger to controversy. The ingredient list can be dubious. First of all, some commercial brands are labeled vegan (which seems to be against the point); others contain things like yeast extracts and acidity regulators along with chicken flavoring. Whatever that means.
But the real deal (and really good) chicken salt doesn’t contain “chicken flavoring,” it
contains actual roasted, braised, dried, and yes, salted, chicken.”
