I made this in Sept 2023. Its Feb 2024, and I just had some over rice. Absolutely delicious. Served over rice and topped with green onion and sesame seeds. Wow!

[@trybjkt]

I know this video is 3 years old...just want to let you knw Ive got 5 jars in the canner. The sauce is delicious. Thank you for a great recipe.

I never knew that about minimum of jars in the pressure cooker so thank you for sharing that.

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Donna Richey you’re welcome 😊

[@bethdavis6863]

When your recipe doesn't make enough jars for the canner, you can always can water to complete the load (even if you reuse lids and pour it out.

[@BrendaSchonig]

I did not know this either!

[@BrendaSchonig]

@@bethdavis6863 That is a great tip. Thank you

[@kfl611]

@@bethdavis6863 A few videos I have watched, the person canning, always had dried beans handy and threw in a pint or quart of dried beans to even out the batch of jars and that way they also when they were done, had a nice jar of canned beans to go along with that mean or a future meal.

[@lisahunter4304]

As someone who has canned for many years, I just wanted to compliment you on this video! So well done, great recipe, and you advocate for canning according to safe guidelines. Winner across the board. Can't wait to try this recipe, and I am looking forward to watching more of your videos.

Never made it to the canner!!!! This was soooo good, I decided to try it for lunch and loved it so much I served it to my husband for dinner. We both loved it. I immediately shared it to my page and my sister made it for her husband and he loved it too! Making it again a 2nd time but will double or triple it so that I will actually have some to can after we have a meal. lol Thank you for this recipe. It is now a family favorite! ***** 5 stars!

[@esthew76]

We made this on Saturday. My husband was so bummed I was canning it 🤣 because he wanted to eat it. I had doubled the sauce to make some for dinner that night and he was thrilled. He used one jar of it when he made lunch today. It was so good! Thanks for an awesome recipe.

Looks yummy! Added to list. Update: 😮 that is sooooo good! I did use some whiskey I infused with apple in place of bourbon and I wish I could tell you how absolutely amazing this is. In canner now. This is definitely a new favorite! 🥰

I do t have bourbon so am also going to try whiskey. Thanks for commenting on how good it was!

[@wendyellis6402]

Carol, I opened up a jar of your recipe that I canned back in November. All I had to do was heat to a boil and add cornstarch slurry to thicken. Served with rice and steamed frozen broccoli. A pint jar gave me two hearty meals, delicious and so convenient thanks ❤

[@gingercrowell7816]

This is delicious! I canned this is September and just had it out of the jar this past weekend. It is excellent. I added a slurry of cornstarch when I reheated it from the jar. Served with rice and Asian stir fry veggies. I will be doing this again this week to put back into my pantry.

[@kimberlynance2711]

Looks and sounds delicious!! I will use thighs because chicken breasts are one meat that I don’t want to can. It looks exactly like the chicken in the cans from the grocery store - dry - not like eating a delicious moist chicken breast you have fried or baked. I will be canning this soon - thanks for another wonderful canning recipe. Every Recipe I have canned of yours has been 5 star. Everyone loves them and wants more. 😳 I can’t keep up! 😂.

[@kimberlynance2711]

I also wanted to say that When I watch your videos, and have been for over a year now, I always think how great your videos are and what great recipes and how safe you are especially with canning. I also think how beautiful you are, inside and out. How gorgeous your hair is, how gorgeous you are, how kind and caring you are and what a wonderful mother and wife. How you are so honest and have such strong moral values. I’ve seen your tea party, and other events where you dressed up so pretty and everything was absolutely perfect. Today while watching I finally decided that you remind me of a modern Victorian Lady. 😘

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

kimberly nance you are way too sweet! You are such a blessing to me 🥰. Funny, your last sentence... I LOVE the Victorian era. I’ve always felt like an old soul born in the wrong time period. My bedroom is decorated with hat boxes, feather boas, pearls and lacy curtains😉💕

Thrifty Chic Housewife I can see that. Carol you are a blessing to all who watch your channel that you inspire in so many ways. You are definitely a blessing to me - I might be in a sad place one day but if I turn on your video you perk me up - you make me smile 😊! Thank you 😘

[@momof6931]

I feel this way, too. I always think how can someone make canning look so graceful and beautiful? But it’s just her soul shining through. You have great words, and it was beautifully said.

[@whyaretherenohandles]

[@tabbichat7076]

I imagine you could use pineapple juice instead of the apple juice with great results - this is such a yummy recipe - Thank you soooo much. Do like the Bragg amino tip (instead of soy sauce) as well.

[@greyfox243.]

Looking forward to trying this!

[@jackietomkins5085]

Thank you for this recipe! 🤗 I just made a HUGE batch and have some tips if that's okay. This is a great recipe but when multiplying the recipe be aware that some ingredients you may not want to do that with. Such as red pepper flakes and the soy sauce. It can make it TOO hot and TOO salty. I did mine x6. Had to add more brown sugar and I also put in about a cup of fresh honey to help curb the heat. The heat really isn't all that noticeable until after you simmered your meat in it for a little while before canning it. Which means that once it's canned, even if you didn't simmer your meat in it first, it's gonna get hotter during the process. I was not able to snuff the extra saltiness. However, I think if doing more than a double recipe only do half the amount of soy and instead use packaged chicken broth for the other half. I made 2 family pkgs of boneless skinless chicken breasts and 1/2 a family pkg of thighs. It was about 13- 14 lbs. To have enough broth I x6 the recipe. It IS great recipe but maybe for the reasons I mentioned that's why it makes so little. Oh btw, I did use Jim Beam Bourbon (apple bourbon) 😀 I thought the apple would compliment it nicely and it did 😉 😄 As far as the salt goes I think when I serve this I'm gonna serve it over bland rice or potatoes and vegetables with having had no salt whatsoever added.. I believe that should balance it out.. Next batch I'm gonna do as I said in my suggestions.

[@jackietomkins5085]

Update! One of the quart jars didn't seal so guess what I had for dinner? 😁 Here's what I did; I cooked a Success Rice Boil in the bag Jasmine. Put the jar contents in a medium pot, threw in a handful of julienned tricolor bell peppers and a handful of onion. Heated to boiling and thickened with cornstarch. Placed steamed broccoli florets to one side of the plate and rice to the other then spooned the bourbon chicken with gravy across the middle of them. It was absolutely delicious!!! The jasmine was a perfect compliment to the chicken as was the broccoli and it didn't taste salty at all 😁

[@laurieduarte1661]

Have just removed this bourbon chicken from canner, smells amazing. Thank you Carol my pantry over the past few days is starting to look pretty great thanks for sharing these fantastic recipes with really good instructions.

[@scrapper6928]

I Canned 5-pint jars today and you are so right... Your recipe is Delicious! I had a little extra chicken and sauce leftover for a single-serve meal so I went ahead and made it for lunch with some rice and OMGosh..... So Good! I'm excited to have 5 jars added to my pantry! Thank You! :)

[@Gggls844]

I just canned last your Bourbon pinto beans, had to make a recipe of your B bean recipe and mixed into the Bourbon beans. Turned out great.

[@PDXTundra]

I just made this. OMG! I used Bourbon and did end up increasing the fluid a bit (just rounded them up except for the bourbon) as I had enough chicken thigh meat to fill 6 pints. Really delicious recipe and incredibly easy to make. I’ll certainly make it again…my wife insists! Thanks, Carol!

[@elizabethrowe9432]

Oh yum! I've canned chicken thighs but not with sauce. I make a honey Sriracha chicken dish and this would be a great base for that. And the kiddos would like this over rice. Quick and easy lunch in my busy world.

Got a 10 lb bag of chicken leg quarters for 4.90. I figured this was a good opportunity to learn how to debone chicken thighs. I ended up using some of the leg meat also to get to 3 1/2 lbs. Mine made 4 1/2 pints. It'll make at least 2 meals a jar, if not 3. Pretty good deal if you ask me! I'll take that big bag of bones and can some chicken broth next.
