Cookstix Reinvents Chicken Stock with Global Flavors and Smarter Functionality

[Washington, DC May 15, 2025] — The founders of Chix Soup Co, known for their premium, better-than-homemade chicken soups, proudly announce the launch of Cookstix—a new line of instant chicken stock powders designed for today’s home cooks and forward-thinking retailers.

Cookstix delivers full-bodied, slow-simmered stock flavor in a compact, single-serve powder stick. Just mix with water to make up to four cups of rich, savory stock. Made with real ingredients, no added sugar, and less sodium than traditional options, Cookstix offers a cleaner, more convenient alternative to boxed stock and bouillon. It’s ideal for cooking grains, enriching soups, building sauces, or adding depth to everyday meals—without the waste, bulk, or compromise.

The debut lineup includes three globally inspired flavors: Classic Roasted ChickenChili-Cumin Lime, and Coconut-Ginger, available in 4-packs and 8-stick cartons. Cookstix is now available on Amazon and at www.mycookstix.com, with retail launches slated for summer 2025.

With its portability, culinary versatility, and merchandising efficiency—each compact carton yields the equivalent of eight boxes of stock—Cookstix presents a smarter solution for both kitchens and retail shelves.

About Cookstix
Cookstix was born from a simple question: why does chicken stock—a kitchen staple—so often go to waste? As avid home cooks (and chicken soup pros), cousins Taryn Pellicone and Valerie Zweig were tired of half-used cartons languishing in the fridge and bouillon cubes full of unrecognizable ingredients. They set out to create a better solution: perfectly portioned, dehydrated chicken stock sticks made with real ingredients, and no added sugar, preservatives, or artificial flavors.

Each stick makes up to four cups of rich, slow-simmered stock in seconds—no measuring, no waste, just clean, savory flavor at your fingertips. Cookstix is the clean-label, flavor-forward upgrade to a pantry staple, reimagined for real life.
