MM Is the best if not better than other brands

Great stuff! I use this along with my sam’s Club, rotisserie chicken to make soups, dumplings, casseroles, etc. It gives everything a rich chicken broth flavor that you sometimes don’t get from just ordinary chicken base. I tried to always keep at least one in my cabinet and a back up in my pantry, especially during the fall and winter months. Never wanna run out!

Versatile, tasty, convenient--what's not to like?

I have been buying and using this chicken base (and beef base as well) for a number of years now. As a paste, it is quicker to dissolve and to disperse than bullion cubes or powder for an instant flavor and umami boost. While one normally thinks of this type of product only for broths, soups, stews, and the like, it is much more versatile than that. For example, it can also be used in sautees, stir frys, gravies, and veggie preps. Add a spoonful to your next dish of green beans, asparagus, or mashed potatoes, for instance. I keep an opened jar of this in the frig where they last for an extended period. Finally, it is far less expensive, and takes up much less cupboard or frig space than chicken stock.

Good product.

I have always got a jar of this in my fridge. It works in all situations requiring chicken broth, by dissolving it in hot water. I have bought several times before, and will continue to buy. It is convenient to have this larger jar. The price was good too.

Great product

Excellent substitute for broth and cheaper (but just as good) compared to Better than Bullion. This is a must for so many recipes including soups, Spanish rice, etc.

Better than granules or broth

More flavor than overly salty granules and more customizable in intensity than buying broth. Price is right too. Use it for broth, gravy, basting, in salad dressings, flavoring rice, an indispensable ingredient!

Good alternative

Only used once and not in a dish where it might stand out. The texture, color and smell were all similar to better than boullion which I normally use. The size and price made me want to try it and I will definitely use this going forward

Surprisingly tasty

I couldn't find my favorite brand of chicken base last trip to Sam's, so got the Member's Mark Chicken Base. I was not very happy about the substitution, but was very delighted with the chicken tortilla soup I made, the base added a really great and subtle flavor that improved my favorite homemade soup! I just wish that the other base flavor I love - Roasted Vegetables - was included in the Members Mark Base flavors!

Chicken Base

This base is always on point! A greater depth of flavor with much less sodium than bouillon.

Versatile helper to stretch a meal

This stuff is GREAT-- it makes it easy to add a delicious chicken flavor to any broth or sauce to help you use up your leftovers or augment a few measly ingredients. I added it to hot water, to make a broth, then made a roux using cream and flour, added garlic, and stirred in the broth to thicken it. I poured that over the Birdseye garlic chicken, pasta, broccoli, corn, and carrots. I also added chopped zucchini of my own. It enhanced the flavor and nutrition to make a hearty meal. It's also great for making shredded rotisserie chicken soup. Use the paste plus water, to taste (more or less water according to salt needs); add any mixed veggies and tiny pasta or beans and salsa, etc. to make a quick dinner. It stays useful for ages, if kept refrigerated.

Warning “Not the same”.

I’ve been purchasing this product for many years, but this chicken base isn’t what it used to be. For some unknown reasons they are putting what looks & feels like crushed bones in this base. I never expected to have to strain this base/water in a fine mesh strainer before using it. My little great grandson was the first to discover the bones in his dumplings. I’m extremely disappointed.
