Cookstix is a dehydrated chicken stock made as a clean, convenient alternative to boxed chicken broth and bouillon cubes. It gives home cooks real, authentic chicken stock flavor without bulky cartons, leftover waste, or hard-to-pronounce ingredients.

Cookstix was born out of frustration with the chicken stock options available in grocery stores. As passionate food lovers and home cooks, we were tired of dealing with half-used cartons of stock going to waste and bouillon cubes filled with unrecognizable ingredients.

So, we created Cookstix: perfectly portioned dehydrated stock sticks that give you exactly what you need, when you need it. No more leftovers, no more measuring—just rich, foundational flavor at your fingertips.

Use Cookstix any time a recipe calls for chicken stock, chicken broth, bouillon, or even water that could use more flavor. It works in soups, sauces, grains, braises, stews, and weeknight meals where you want the flavor of chicken stock without opening a full carton.

You can also use Cookstix more creatively as a dry rub, to boost a vinaigrette, or to add savory depth to infused oils, compound butters, and sauces.

Cookstix can be used as a replacement for traditional chicken stock, broth, or bouillon. To make instant chicken stock, open a stick, pour it into hot water, and stir until dissolved.

Once prepared, use it anywhere you would use chicken broth in cooking—soups, sauces, grains, risotto, braises, and more. You can also use it dry as a seasoning enhancer in vinaigrettes, roasted vegetables, flavored butter, and marinades.

If you’re choosing between Cookstix, bouillon cubes, or boxed chicken broth, the biggest differences come down to ingredients, convenience, flavor, and waste.

Exactly what you need, when you need it — no more half-used cartons going bad in the fridge or messy measuring. Just the right amount of rich, savory chicken stock at your fingertips.

Real, authentic flavor — Cookstix is made to deliver the depth and richness of chicken stock in a compact, shelf-stable format, without the clutter and compromise of traditional options.

Simplifies cooking and saves time — whether you’re making soup, sauce, grains, or anything that needs a flavor boost, Cookstix gives you a quick and impactful way to build flavor.

A modern alternative to bouillon — for home cooks looking for a cleaner, more versatile option than bouillon cubes or powders.
