In a Biskit is a popular type of snack cracker made by a company called Nabisco. It first came out in the United States in early 1964. Back then, it was called Chicken in a Biskit. Since then, these crackers have become available in many countries around the world. They now come in lots of different flavors too!
In a Biskit in the United States
In the United States, the Chicken in a Biskit crackers get their flavor from cooked chicken that has been dried. However, the recipes for these crackers can be different in other countries.
In the U.S., Chicken in a Biskit and Swiss in a Biskit were part of a group of crackers called Flavor Originals. Other crackers in this group included Better Cheddars, Sociables, and Vegetable Thins. When Chicken in a Biskit first launched, it was available in original and barbecue flavors. Today, you can find it in original and ranch flavors.
In a Biskit in Australia
In Australia, Nabisco also made "biskits" with unique flavors. These included Vegemite, bacon, and nacho flavors. They also had more common flavors like barbecue, crispy potato, and salt and vinegar.
In a Biskit crackers in Australia were sold in a box that weighed about 175–200 grams. You could also buy them in a "Multi-pack." This multi-pack had 10 small bags, each weighing 25 grams. Multi-packs became available for the In a Biskit line in August 1999.
These crackers were made at Kraft's factory in Broadmeadows, Australia, until 2006. After that, the manufacturing moved to China. Interestingly, even though Australian Kraft Chicken in a Biskit listed chicken meat as an ingredient, some tests showed that the product did not contain any protein from meat.
Production of the 'In a Biskit' range in Australia stopped in March 2015. But good news for fans! In a Biskit returned to Australian stores in August 2021. The flavors that came back were Chicken and Drumstix. The company said they were "oven baked in Oz" again, meaning they were made in Australia.
In August 2022, Mondelez, the company that owns the brand, announced new flavors. These were inspired by popular home delivery foods in Australia. The new flavors included Smoky Meatlovers, Cheese Burger, and Loaded Cheese. In 2025, they also released flavors inspired by Philadelphia Sweet Chilli and Peri Peri Drumstix.
