Stock Up A Year's Supply of Chicken | Raw Pack Meat Pressure Canning | Bone Broth | Grocery Haul

Today Josh and Annie are canning chicken to put away for our year's supply of food. We will show you how to debone a chicken, and four different ways to can it: bone-in raw pack canning, bone-out raw pack canning, canning pre-cooked shredded chicken, and canning bone broth, made with all the chicken carcass leftovers. Canning meat may seem intimidating, but it's actually very easy! Canned chicken is our go-to way to store chicken for the year, because it doesn't take up precious freezer space. Plus we love the flavor of the finished product!

Instead of feeding your bones to the dogs, use ALL of them to make bone broth, then put the bones on a cookie sheet in the oven on 300 degrees for a couple of hours (until you can break leg bone by hand) then run them through the blender to make bone meal. Bone meal is more expensive than dog food, so you can save some money.

[@anniemcelroy2812]

Josh has been doing this and feeding it to the dogs. They LOVE it!

[@kieronstump]

Well the expensive electricity would prevent me from doing so why not just give the bones to the dogs and what they don’t chew and leave on the ground 😮 how about I then produce those into Bone meal Over a Wood fire and process for Future garden use (roses love it) be well and your day and may there be fertilizer for all of us again someday

Have you tried using the broth to top off the shredded chicken instead of plain water?

[@feliciawhite674]

How about we never give bones to dogs and do this cuz bones r horrible for dogd

I love seeing all the different ways of doing the chickens. According to the National Center for Home Food Preservation guidelines for canning bone-in chicken it is 65 minutes for pints and 75 minutes for quarts. Also headspace for chicken is 1 1/4 inches.

[@vjohnson2400]

Josh, your deboning of the chicken tutorial is so helpful. Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase “farm to fork”. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for your encouragement it always appreciate it :-)

[@lynnladnier6510]

Agreed !!! 😊

[@mariayelruh]

Another thing, since you are adding liquid, start with 1/2 of water or broth in the bottom of the jar. That way it will migrate upwards as you are adding chicken and taking up the air spaces. You'll still have to add some water anyway so it's not like that 1/2 cup is taking the place of chicken.

Same. I am processing cook shredded chicken in my presto canner for the first time today. I stumbled on this video while looking for information on the difference between raw packing and hot packing. (and I still don’t really know. Maybe I will by the end of the video🤞🏼)

[@vickikenton5439]

I’m still in my first year of pressure canning meats. But after 7 or 8 batches of raw and pulled meat canning chicken, I have found I prefer raw pack with bone in, so that my broth in with the meat is bone broth. And I roast the leftover carcass and cook it with onion and herbs to make a quart or so per bird of overnight bone broth to pressure can the next day. I cook or air fry the skins separately and make schmaltz (rendered chicken fat) to put into a jar in the fridge for later cooking. So delicious!

[@HeartwayFarms]

Wonderful! Love the adaption and uses that you have found beneficial! Blessings!!

Wish I could raise my own chicken but I have to by ,but I have enough beef stew and chicken stew for many years to come and pickle jahr also for years thanks god iam a senior and single I did it 😊

[@raymondjoebarwick8995]

Another thing to add to your bones for broth is your chicken feet and the wing tips they are very high in collagen, and that's good for your bones and joints I grew up my grandparents did this

[@user-us4dc7ho9m]

Thank you for your simple and clear instructions and demo. Your presentations are encouraging. You make it simple and easy to do. Great videos as always!

Thank you!

[@nancycurtis488]

A wooden chopstick is great to run down into your jars to get the boiling water down throughout the shredded chicken.

[@marilynmarilynohearn476]

PS use large mouth jars for canning chicken it's so much easier. You don't need a funnel for packing chicken you just need to wash the top of the jar when you're done.

[@thomaswilliams1542]

Dehydrate those bones and and grind them up in a blender you have bone Meal for your garden

[@edithperezsalgado8177]

Great video my question is how do you find a good man to enjoy preparing chickens in kitchens. I sure wish i had one like you❤

[@TheMarinemom02]

Wide mouth jars would've come in handy. Skinless, raw packed bone in chicken, also known as "ugly chicken" is absolutely the best tasting chicken I've ever had. Will always do it this way. The bone broth we made from it was phenomenal as well. Thank You, Happy Thanksgiving!

Supposedly it's not approved, but for those of us who can't raise birds Sam's and Costco rotisserie chickens are a great economical source of cooked chicken to can! I'll also cook and debone 10lb bags chicken leg quarters and add some cooked breast breast to the mix too!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! You just taught an old(70 y/o)a new trick. Your steps are more thorough than I have done for years. Esp how you don't have to deal with so many small bones. I often use home broth and my dogs like the raw chicken waste I don't use for broth.

[@sitsngigglesful]

Back to say, I just finished cooking a full turkey breast in my PC. It worked SOOO well! I'll definitely do this with the chickens I need to get out of my freezer and process!

[@vonniemerriam974]

Have been pressure canning chicken since 2020 when I bought my first PC. Have done a mix of raw pack bone in, chunked, skinless and boneless as well as cooked shredded. Nice thing about the cooked and shredded is the jars of broth that are also canned. Just processed 60 lbs leg quarters from some good deals at a local grocer over 3 canning sessions, all cooked and pulled from the bones. But my game changer this time was a $6 gravy fat separator from Ace hardware! It's only 1 cup but to take the extra bit of time to separate the fat in both the shredded meat jars and then the broth paid back double! Beautiful jars with no big fat cap. But nothing wasted....I poured the fat off into its own jar and it's refrigerated for cooking. Chicken fat is the secret ingredient for hot dogs here in Central NY at a popular local joint that's been around since the 50's. So I now have dozens of jars of chicken, broth and a big jar of good cooking fat. Best $6 I've spent this year!

[@barbaras2899]

I’m a new canner and the USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning Book on page 5-5 says 1 1/4 inch headspace. (They changed it from 1 inch). It’s great to see you both working together.

[@laurielyon1892]

I totally agree with you about the cooked chicken being the best way to can it up. I can make chicken salad with it, I take it and make a chicken, broccoli, rice and cheese casserole all the time! I don't raise chickens, but every time the store has them on sale, I get several and cook them up, then take the bones and save for broth. Many times, I take the broth that is made when I cook the chicken, and I put that over the chicken instead of water. Instead of banging your jars down once you put the water in them, do you not use a de-bubbler?

[@anniemcelroy2812]

❤️❤️❤️

[@nancycurtis488]

That center cartilage in the breast is called the keel. I have been deboning my whole chickens for at least 45 years even for making fried chicken. It was easier for my children to eat AND I kinda fooled my kids on if it was dark or light meat…not that they ever noticed…lol. I am loving your video.

I butcher my chickens skin them, chill 24 hours , break them down and put into jars. The bone in is extra nutrients. I use the backs, necks, wing, tips, and giblets (liver heart and so on) to make broth or stock. At $3.99 a quart it's great savings. I can the up and can last 5 years in the jar. When I open the jar the bones just slide out.

I like to raw pack the chicken pieces. We will be canning another couple of canner full batches this weekend. I have tried the bone in and I just don’t like it that way it turns out. Fall is coming and getting ready for the fall winter seasons so we are stocking up. Getting some beef stew and potato soup together as well. Love this time of year. You are right it is a team effect but the one thing that makes me happy is that my sons see what it takes to provide good food for the family. They have learned some awesome values.

[@eckankar7756]

I've canned for over 50 years. Until recently I've hot packed deboned chicken. Now I love bone in canning for that incredible broth. I take the skin off and freeze it to fry later for chips. I don't fill the jars all the way with chicken and do add water for the broth. If I'm canning a whole bird I can put in a split breast, thigh, leg and wing in a quart jar, but will do maybe 2 legs and a thigh with water for the bone broth. Actually...if possible...I freeze the wings for hot wings later, my FAVORITE.

I have two All American 921 canners that I love, of course, but I have to do that canning outside and so I was getting very little canning done. Last year I invested in the Carey electric canner and it was hands…down…one of the best investments I’ve made. Yes it’s true I can do lots more at a time in my All American but if I can’t get it done for various reasons (right now I couldn’t can outside because I have an anaphylactic allergy to the cold) I can use my Carey day and night. And it’s getting done. I even ordered another Carey yesterday. Trying to work through all my beef bones.

[@jasonhenkels8798]

Really enjoyed this one and so timely as we were just getting ready to can chicken for the first time. The whole process couldn't have been easier with the Presto Pressure canner. The only problem we had was with the head space of which we were being very conscious. After the jars had set for a few days we noticed the fat cap first which we didn't know about and some chicken stuck up above that then got a little funky. There was only one of eight that was really noticeable. So we opened that one first and threw it out. Any advice would be great. Thanks and keep up the great videos.

[@Mindy56743]

On canning chicken I agree with you on the cooking the chicken and deboning the chicken before canning. Jars and jar space is important for me and the bone in canning seems to me like a waste. This is also the reason why I hot pack can even my fruit and vegetables. When I have raw packed them it seems like I waste a bunch of the jar space

I don't raise chickens, so I have to buy it. I have raw packed (my favorite method) some leg quarters bone-in skin-on as well as bscb, cut into chunks. I prefer the bscb because, of course, there is more meat per jar. But the quarters produce a more flavorful broth. I have also combined boneless skinless white and dark meat and use that for soups and casseroles. The white meat makes the best chicken salad! Do you de-bubble after adding the water? Also, do you let the broth cool and skim the fat off the top before processing? Your broth is beautiful! Thank you for sharing how you process your chickens. It is truly a group effort!

Chicken bones are not safe to feed to dogs. They splinter and can puncture their insides. We lost one of our dogs that accidentally got ahold of a piece of chicken. He became septic do to the puncture. We have never fed our dogs chicken bones. Any other bones are not s bad. Just my experience. Watching you guys break down the bird makes it look so easy. Lol I hate cutting up chicken.

[@HeartwayFarms]

Cooked bones are definitely dangerous for dogs. Raw bones are much safer.

[@nwgardening]

Only if they have been cooked

[@helenvandagrifft5313]

A vet told me raw chicken bones are perfectly safe...he said, " wolves and coyotes eat raw bones, dogs are carnivores "

[@debbienielsen368]

Is is possible to dry the cooked bones and make a bone powder? Is that even a thing? Can you tell I’m not very good at this sort of thing. Just a thought🤷🏼‍♀️

[@marytaylor6084]

If they are pressure canned, chicken bones are fine

[@debbiee6535]

when you have a family like yours that are so big you have to cook it cool it descan debone and tear it a tear it or cut it up that's a lot of work it's easier to put the bone in and if you have to use three jars or four jars or you could get the bigger jars they're half gallon plus a quart so they're big jars and you can put a whole bird in there at that time

[@jeanettesapartmenthomestea1603]

If I would feed my dogs anything chicken it would be cooked with no bones. I understand that it may be sage uncooked and you know where your chicken comes from. That may make a big difference. As far as canned chicken if for some reason I don’t use the broth from the canned chicken then I freeze it after I drain the chicken. Sometimes I put the chicken in with roasted vegetables and brown the chicken with the veggies. So that would not use the broth.

Thank you for such an in-depth video on all the options for canning chicken.

When I open a jar of my canned chicken it smells like I'm opening a can of tuna! When I do mine I hot pack them but use broth. But then I have others say if it's smelling like tuna I'm doing something wrong!?! But every thing else turns out beautiful! Is it because I'm using broth instead of water? I pressure can for 90 mins at my altitude I have to pressure can mine at 11lbs but usually it stays steady around 13lbs. I want to know why mine smells like tuna but others saying something is wrong if that's the case! 😢
