I am wanting to make a spicy chicken dip. I haven't ever had the chicken from the can. (Chicken from the Sea.) I would like to make my evening easeir by just making it from a can. Do you think it will still taste as good as regular chicken?

Since it's for a dip I don't think it would be an issue, there will probably be other flavors that will make the chicken not matter as much. Save yourself the time! I've had it in chicken salad before and it's not exactly the same as home cooked chicken, but it definitely doesn't taste bad! =)

I've used Chicken from the Sea's canned chicken in a soup & it's okay. The major drawback of the product is that it is salty.
If it's a choice between this & grocery store rotisserie chicken, I'd choose the canned product because I've had some horrible store roasted chickens.
Costco has the best, most consistent rotisserie chicken. It tastes good on its own & as an igredient. It's my favorite convenience product.

Yes. It has a texture similar to canned tuna fish. I think if you are using it for a dip then it will work out just fine.
If you don't like how it turns out then you could get one of those rotisserie chickens that are precooked in the deli section of most grocery stores and chop it up instead of cooking. And use the leftover for sandwiches, etc. Good luck.

It has a lot less taste than freshly cooked chicken, but it is a time saver. Make a chicken salad (add mayo, mustard, diced onion, and some relish) with it. It will add more flavor.

I used can chicken for the first time last night in my Chili and it turned out great I really couldn't tell the difference.

I haven't tried it. Actually, I didn't even know there was such a thing. Maybe you could buy a small can if they have one and just give it a try. If you don't like it...don't worry. Just boil a chicken. It really isn't hard.

Yes, I've had it. I think it's pretty good, especially if you get the white meat. I don't know if I'd want to have it plain, as a main course, but maybe in a salad or something. I have had it plain as something quick while at work for lunch, but not a dinner course.

I have used this chicken to make some stir-fry and also Mexican enchiladas and find that it helps speed things up. Everything turned out fine.Also in some salads.

Chicken of the Sea isn't chicken, it's tuna.
They sell canned meats at Costco as well as many groceries. It's almost as tasty as cooking your own meat, fresh, and it's very convenient. I always keep canned chicken and canned beef on hand.
