I am soo impressed! I’m 64 yrs old & just now learning to can. Thanks for helping this ole bird learn 😉

I've been canning for over 50 years. Canning bone in makes the chicken and broth taste so much better. I do add water to raw pack, bone in chicken so the meat is covered with liquid. I do remove the skin and render the fat out to freeze or fry the skin for chips. If you want to hot pack just meat, boil the chicken, cool, remove the meat and use the cooking broth for canning. That works, too, but..honestly, canning bone in tastes better.

I leave the skin on when I can chicken. It just adds flavor. When I open the jar and am pulling out the bone, I pitch the skin. It is a dream for me when I am working or for Hubs if he is making himself lunch! I also prefer wide-mouth jars for chicken. :)

I found this on three different places online: Wipe the rims of the jars to remove any residue, adjust the lids/rings (finger tight only), and process in a pressure canner as follows: For jars without bones (both hot and raw pack methods), process pints for 75 minutes and quarts for 90 minutes For jars with bones (both hot and raw pack methods), process pints for 65 minutes and quarts for 75 minutes For Dial-gauge pressure canners, process jars at 11 pounds pressure (altitudes of 0 to 2,000 ft) or at 12 pounds pressure (altitudes of 2,001 to 4,000 ft). For Weighted gauge pressure canners, process jars at 10 pounds pressure (altitudes of 0 to 1,000 ft) or at 15 pounds pressure (altitudes above 1,000 ft). Hope this helps everybody!

Reuse the bones and can throw the juice into to make more stock. Camera stock as well. It can get fairly concentrated If you want it to be. Put a lid full of apple cider vinegar in with the bones to draw out the nutrients. Since your chickens are pastured you can get probably two batches of broth from the bones

I watched the video on how to raw pack chicken. I have a glass top stove and it could not handle large canner I bought a garage sale. So I used my 6 quart pressure cooker. 1 quart wide mouth jars could only fit 3 in at a time. Had to move cooker to different burner after 30 min.

I would not recommend canning in a pressure cooker. You need to be able to see the pressure your canning at and if you cant maintain the proper pressure for the proper amount of time .... you have to start over. Please only can in a pressure canner.

Looks great. I have to admit that when I first saw one of your videos you were drinking coffee from an Alaskan-themed mug and later in the video I saw your shelves w/o earthquake bars across them I went "Huh...?" Too many people new to Alaska find out the hard way with a big mess following a shaker that they NEED to have safety stoppers across their shelves and well-anchored shelves as well. I looked and saw you were in the Lower 48 and likely in a place where it is most likely not an issue, but it's still noteworthy for those living anywhere in earthquake country to be aware beforehand in order to save a lot of waste and ultimately, misery for both the loss and the cleanup. Great videos, congratulations.

Thank you for this video. I've always canned chicken, hot pack. Decided to try some this time using raw pack. There are 7 quarts in the canner now. Canning 4 drumsticks per jar for a family of 2. That works out better for us than canning 3 per pint. A whole lot faster than hot pack, that's for sure. For me, that's usually a two day process. Day 1: Prep the meat and boil, cool, refrigerate. Day 2: Skim off solidified fat. Combine chicken and stock & heat, fill jars, etc. Yes, I get more broth to can. Yet, from what I understand, there's better broth in raw pack that can be saved or will enhance the current meal, as desired. Also, I prefer dark meat. Breast is my least favorite part of the chicken. Suspect this batch will be the first of many raw pack to come. Again, thank you!

@@PrattFamilyHomestead Thanks for the heads up. I'll consider these a test run, so to speak. One quart didn't seal, in the refrigerator, so that'll be my first test. What kinds of "pain" have you encountered? When I hot pack, I boil the chicken parts just long enough to remove the bones. (2/3 done per Ball Blue Book). Cut into pieces (chunks) along with some "shredded" as nothing is left on the bones. At that point, I refrigerate the chicken meat. Have the option to return the large bones back to the stock pot and continue to simmer for more enriched broth. Or, discard bones & refrigerate the broth, too. After doing this raw pack, I may omit prep one day & can the next. Somewhere along the line, I was taught that for longer shelf life, remove most of the fat. Processing time will be faster as nothing has to be reheated. Again, thanks for encouraging me to re-think what I've been doing. You can teach an old dog new tricks. :-)

Since the skin is removed for canning, you could skip plucking, too. Save even more time and just skin them instead.

Plus you get some of the nutrition that was locked away in the bones. Cutting off the joints opens the bone cavity for even more. With a good meat cleaver, just give legs and thighs a whack to cut them into 2 pieces. Just don't over pack the jars, as timing is based on the density, as bone-in normally isn't packed as tightly as boneless & bones are not as dense as flesh. Thus, water/steam can circulate better and reach the center of the jar for the amount of time given(& needed) to process.

Can the chicken meat be eaten cold in a salad ??

It would be the same as opening a can of tuna and making a salad

So yes

How long will the chicken last in jars in terms of years,

I think most canning folks would tell you that canned meat will last indefinitely. I think "official sources" tell you to use canned products with in 12-18 months.

It is very bad for animals to eat cooked bones. In a while they eat bones but they are uncooked.

Yes it’s in jars but it’s called canning! Never heard of it referred to as jarring!
