AlpineAire Foods  Kung Pao Grilled Chicken - 2 Servings

I was surprised at how flavorful the meal was. It had been a while since I’ve had a backpacking meal and wasn’t expecting as much flavor as this had. As long as you follow the instructions on the packet, it’ll be fully rehydrated and pretty close to being like a regular meal and not something that was dehydrated for backpacking. If you like spicy meals, give this a shot.

Great tasting backpacking meal. I personally would like a little more spiciness, but I get that you have to sell it to more people. My only real issue is that they call it two servings at 660 calories. That is one serving backpacking long days. Nobody is sharing this after 12 hours of hiking

Title says it all. My 10 year old selected this to share on a camping trip. As a lover of authentic Sichuan cuisine, I found it to be incredibly spicy in an over seasoned sort of way. My daughter mentioned a few times that the rice was cooked all the way, but she eat something with a random crunch. She couldn’t pinpoint the taste and I thought maybe it was the peanuts.

. . . and it's a good thing. While this meal isn't *bad*, it also isn't at all good. In fact, it's just South of mediocre. The flavor is extremely bland and it's like eating a gravy-laden packet of ramen. I'll finish my pack of 12, but I'm not excited about it.

Really tasty with a solid level of spice. It's nice to try something different than the Mountain house meals. It would have been 5 stars if there was more chicken but the rice was perfectly cooks and peanuts crunchy. I would for sure get this again.

I bought this for a backpacking trip in October and it was by far the worst freeze dried meal I picked. It was super salty, called for an insane amount of water (2 cups!) so it was very soupy, and had this off putting rank smell once cooked.

Do not take this on a backpacking trip if you have a disposition to have the runs with certain spicy food. Makes for a bit more difficult backcountry trip when this is the only food option and it's fighting on the way out.

Had great flavor and packs nice and small compared to other meals of this type. Only negative is that it seemed light per serving. I split it with another and was definitely not full.

I am used to backpacking food, which is not always tasty however this was exceptionally bad. The amount of salt in the meal was overwhelming and it also seemed over spiced.

I did not enjoy this meal at all. It lacked flavor and was only spicy. The saving grace was it provided much needed calories after a day of backpacking.
