August 16, 2010 No comments

What You Need:

7 (3 lb.) chickens
7 chicken bouillon cubes

How to Make It:

Cut the chicken into parts, separating the leg and thighs.
Remove the breasts and freeze as they do not can well.
Prepare the canning jars as directed by the manufacturer keeping them hot.
Fill the jars with the chicken pieces until full leaving a 1 inch headspace.
Add a bouillon cube to each jar.
Release any air bubbles, wipe off the jar rims and tighten down the lid by hand.
Process the jars in a pressure canner at 10 lbs. of pressure for 1 hour 15 minutes.
Let the pressure return to 0 and wait 10 minutes before removing the jars.
Let the jars cool in a draft free area then check the seals.
Any jars that did not seal correctly can be refrigerated and should be used within 1 week.
Boil the contents of each jar for 15 minutes before tasting or eating.

Makes 7 quarts

It’s really not difficult to can your chicken. You can even can already frozen chicken if you wish. Let it thaw completely in the refrigerator. Separate your chicken pieces then cook the chicken until it’s cooked about two thirds of the way through. Finish processing as the above recipe calls for. Its best not to can chicken that has been frozen over 4 months. It’s a guarantee that this chicken will fall off the bone making it even better for those recipes that call for shredded or chicken meat pieces.
