What is Freeze Dry Chicken

1. What is freeze dry chicken


Freeze dry chicken is a convenient food that is highly regarded for its long shelf life and portability. It is made from cooked chicken, cut into pieces, and then uses a special technique to remove all the moisture.


Freeze dry chicken is packed in cans, bags or buckets. Freeze dry chicken can be eaten like ordinary chicken, depending on the buyer's preference and the equipment available for cooking and rehydrating the product.


Generally speaking, a small amount of chicken breasts can be equivalent to two to three times that of cooked chicken. For example, some brands stipulate that 2 ounces (57 grams) of freeze-dried chicken can replace 7 ounces (198 grams) of fresh chicken.


2. What to pay attention to when making freeze dry chicken


Before the chicken is freeze-dried, it must be fully cooked and then diced or cut into small pieces. The cooked chicken is frozen to its three key points, which is the lowest temperature that water may exist in both liquid and solid state. This step is done on the freeze dryer.


Once the chicken is frozen, it is heated in a pressurized chamber, which helps melt the ice. Then it is heated again to remove any residual moisture that was not frozen during the initial freezing process. After freeze-drying, the chicken exhibits a hard and hard texture similar to dryness.


Although it can be eaten directly from the package, it is often rehydrated for cooking. Before replacing fresh chicken with freeze dry chicken, the chicken must be soaked in cold water for a few minutes. After adding hot water, the chicken tends to absorb water faster. After rehydration, the freeze dry chicken can be added to soups, salads, sandwiches or pasta. Some consumers have put several packages of freeze dry chicken in their home pantry as a substitute for fresh chicken.


Other consumers store this product in an emergency, because the power outage may not be able to refrigerate. Hikers and campers may bring a few packs of freeze dry chicken to ensure they have a good source of protein in the wild.


This product is also used in humanitarian rations and military meals. Although some diners may not like the taste of freeze dry chicken, there is no doubt that this product has many advantages.


Freeze dry chicken has a long shelf life, and if stored properly, it can be stored for several years. Freeze dry chicken is light in weight, easy to carry when traveling.
