Think we're crazy about this whole anti-biscuit thing? We did some research on the web, and here's what other consumers have to say.

"The more flesh-flavored crackers we create, the closer we get to admitting to ourselves that we are, culturally speaking, batshit insane." -Clickie

"Has anyone else seen the BBQ Chicken In A Biskits? I was at the store over the weekend when I saw them ... revolting. Blech. Cooked flesh BBQ crackers! Come'n get 'em! Lore brings up a good point about meat-flavored crackers, but I think what's so gross about it is that they ARE crackers. Shouldn't they be, like, chips or something? Chicken chips? They have BBQ chips ... then there are pork rinds ... maybe it's that crackers aren't crunchy enough. That said, I kinda like Chicken In A Biskits. They don't taste like chicken." -Y2Karen

"I wonder why they don't deep-fry chicken skin and resell it as "Chicken Rinds" or whatever." -Annenayne

"I would think that there would be a market for deep-fried chicken rinds." -Clickie

"I'd buy 'em. I love chicken skin. And on chickin in a biskit: It's chicken broth, not chicken meat... Just think of boiling a chicken alive in hot water and dunking crackers into the resulting concoction... Mmmm... Or is that just me?" -Nevah Altavaris Entitar

"Personally, I love Chicken in a Biskit. Apparently I am a freak." -Bolingbroke

"I like Chicken in a Biskit. I'm eating from a box right now, in fact. They're tasty crackers, quite unique in their flavor... sort of like those salt and vinegar potato chips are unique. I just thought of something though: I recall a Home Economics class where the teacher stated that all products have to truthfully advertise their contents if they use food in the name. For example, it's called macaroni and cheese because there's more macaroni than cheese in the package. Also, you can't call something "Grapes and Noodles" if it has no noodles and no grapes in it. This means that Chicken in a Biskit crackers must actually have chicken in them. Additionally, they have more chicken than biscuit. Furthermore, it's not actually a biscuit, it's the mythical "biskit"; presumably some more fully evolved form of cracker-like substance. You know, I don't know whether I should be more amazed at the food science which allows one to put chicken into a cracker, or frightened at the concept of finding a bone in my snack. I'll leave that one for you to decide." -http://www.wanthoney.com

"I'm at home, AGAIN! But this time I am not alone! Oh no......not alone... I have a box of crackers with me. They are made by Nabisco, they're called "chicken in a Biskit." they taste more or less like crunchy puke. There are 160 Calories in evey 12 Crackers 80 of them are from fat.... what are the other 80 Calories from? I will not eat these crackers from HELL! El Diablo Crackers! I know that the goats were in on the making of these crackers-these flavord crisps, these chickens in a biskit, these baked snack crackers!!! The goats are a part of this, I dont know why or how, but they must be poisin. DAMN THE GOATS!!!" -kelbywoo

"Those chicken crackers get so dry and foul tasting after a few. The first one is good if you are really really really really very very hungery." -Entrance

"Wandering through the grocery store yields many revelations to the trained eye (and ear: Who knew 'Smoke on the Water' could ever be accurately rendered as Muzak?). Drowning in a sea of colorful packages proclaiming 'New and Improved!', 'Low Fat!', 'Whiter Clothes!', and "Avoid Contact With Mucus Membranes" are some truly masterful unintentional conundrums.
Nabisco has a product that I KNOW I've seen on the shelves for years, but only recently have I been curious enough to actually read the label: Chicken in a Biskit. Color me skeptical, but I'm wondering how E coli bacteria manage to steer clear of THESE boxes. Now, I'm not ready to blow the whistle on Nabisco for lack of truth in advertising or the like (although, I could certainly call them on some rather reckless spelling), but a closer look at the ingredients label does seem to be in order.
Ominously, there are 13 listed ingredients. Of these, the twelfth is 'dehydrated cooked chicken' (food ingredients appear on packages with the most prominent item listed first). This would mean, then, that chicken---in this case, in all its dry cooked splendor---is next to last in this rundown of cracker highlights. Which ingredient brings up the rear? The ubiquitous 'natural flavor' (somewhere in the Chicago stockyards has GOT to be a wholesale food distribution center where pallets filled to the ceiling with boxes of 'natural flavor' stand by ready for immediate shipping).
Sharing the blue cardboard panel are the following ingredients listed in descending order: Enriched wheat flour, vegetable shortening, sugar, whey (never underestimate Little Miss Muffet's contribution to 20th century commerce---although she DOES seem to be hoarding most of her curds---but, can ya blame a gal?), hydrolyzed corn and yeast protein, and onion powder (FINALLY, one we recognize!). There's a couple more items listed, but these seem to be the main perpetrators in the alleged 'Chicken in a Biskit."'
I guess if a food manufacturer is going to market a cracker named 'Chicken in a Biskit', I'd like to see just a little more chicken (and a lot less corn and yeast protein, hydrolyzed or not, thank you) for my snacking dollar. With chicken coming in at #12 in a 13-ingredient food, I've got to think chicken is one thing you WON'T be tasting. Why, if Nabisco had any 'chutzpa' at all, it would take, say, it's 4th ingredient, and produce 'A Whey in a Manger'. Perfect for parties (appropriately shaped), and a certain Holiday natural.
My fear, though, is that Nabisco may indeed have the courage to pull off a couple of THESE meat-haunted snacks (each with obligatory annoyingly 'cute' misspellings): Burger in a BisKit (with dehydrated pickle, ketchup and mustard); Pork'n a Cracker (ought to be popular in the South---the slogan's built-in: 'The OTHER white cracker').
To be fair, I've not tried Chicken in a Biskit. While the temptation would be great to flour some up and drop 'em in hot oil ('Mmmmm....that's good eatin!'), I find myself eagerly passing their aisle on each trip to the store.
I have, however, come up with a splendid (and suitably cautious) Yuletide Holiday gift-giving idea (just in case 'C in a B' is less than tasty): I'll give each of my friends a box of Chicken in a Biskit, wrap it gaily and scribble this inscription:
I don't know how a box of this was
Given to you this beautiful Christmas.
While I hope you'll still be able to kiss us,
My wish for you all is a Merry Trismus." -Brad
