I’ve enjoyed the many Packit Gourmet no-cook wrap fillings over the years. Kickin’ Chicken Hot Wings Wrap was the last one, and I had not tried it.
The wrap filling can be eaten straight out of the bag or used in wraps for a hearty lunch.
It retails for $13.99.
Dry ingredients.
Cage Free Chicken, Carrots, Sauteed White Onions (onion, safflower oil, caramel
coloring), Buttermilk Ranch Dressing (buttermilk, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, yeast, chives, guar gum, dill, parsley), Celery, Smoked Peppers, Red and Green Bell Peppers, Blackened Spice (spices, salt, onion, garlic), Spices, Tomato Pepper (garlic salt, organic tomato, annatto, garlic granules, cilantro), Tabasco (distilled vinegar, red pepper, salt, paprika, cayenne), Lemon Juice, Cream Cheese (cream cheese [milk, culture, salt, carob bean gum, enzyme] and nonfat milk), Salted Butter, BBQ Spice, Organic Chives

I prepped it following the directions, using 4 ounces of cool water and a 15-minute rehydration time.
The chicken is perfectly diced into the smallest chunks, which allows for faster rehydration than using traditional-sized chunks of freeze-dried chicken. Seriously, the tiny dice are fantastic for quick rehydration. Unlike some cold-soak meals, due to the size, it rehydrated in the time allotted. Some col-soak can take double the time.
This meal used to come with mayo and hot sauce packets, but the sauce now consists of dried ingredients.
While I enjoyed the dish’s flavor, I missed the mayo packet. I’d have liked the option to add a packet with the meal, as some of their meals do. I also missed the binding that mayo does for chicken salads.
It has great flavor and texture, and it would be great in a wrap. I felt it was worth the price, as it is mostly meat (which isn’t cheap freeze-dried).
