It's a well known fact that what we call Chicken Salt is pretty much just salt and MSG. I call BS on the 'all-natural ingredients' in the recipe above.
TIL glutamate isn't just a dry chemical powder. Point taken - but does it also come from vegetables, like the recipe above implies?
EDIT: nvm, chicken stock...
Yeah, I’m not a defending MSG or anything, and don’t use it directly, but I always make a big thick stock whenever we have a rotochicken or cook a Turkey.
The name makes me think it's different than what it is. It's also crazy adding chicken stock to salt. Last I checked, premade chicken stock is basically salt already. With that said, I would love to try it.

Glutamate is a natural byproduct of boiling meats when making soup or stock. Mono sodium glutamate is naturally present in cheese and tomatoes.
But also a tiny amount goes a long way. I don’t think we can be trusted to sprinkle it on everything in most of America.

Ain't nothing unnatural about MSG. Don't let the big chemical names fool you.

Adding basically salt to salt doesn't make the salt saltier. It just makes more salt.
