Nobody is COMPELLED to be a vegetarian, so the question of whether they are allowed to eat something is a bit off; they would be allowed to stop being vegetarians, if they so desire. The question that you mean to ask, I believe, is whether chicken flavor is considered to violate the principles of vegetarianism. And that would depend upon how the chicken flavor is made. Chicken flavor may contain an extract taken from actual chickens, in which case it violates vegetarianism. However, if you can simulate the flavor of a chicken without using any animal source, that does not violate vegetarianism. It's not the flavor that vegetarians object to, it is the killing of animals.
