What a yummy idea to ditch the seasoning packet in the ramen and make your own! I love the BBQ flavor in this! I will have to try this with one of the many packages of ramen I have in our pantry hehehehe

I don't understand the concept of ditching the chicken season packet if you are just going to add chicken stock. Same difference and pretty retarded .

Hi Tiffany, The flavor profile and the end taste was much more to our liking when made this way. Appreciate your honest feedback.
