I have a cockerel I'm planning on butchering today. Problem is, he's a sweet boy. We just don't need him.
The poor bugger's only problem is he lost the genetic lottery.
Sigh.

DH and I are going to do our first run of canned chicken.... we processed 5 roosters on Sunday evening and I want to can instead of freeze so we can conserve freezer space and also because we eat a lot of meals in which I use cubed chicken anyway. We do a lot of salads with chicken, chicken salad sandwiches and Pasta Accent type meals, and it would be much quicker to have it ready to go in a can instead of having to cook and then chop it for meals.
I have read many versions of the Raw Pack method and plan to do the raw pack for our canning, I have the times and instructions but there is still one variable I am debating on....
The question I have for you experienced chicken canners on here.... do any of you add either salt or bullion to the jar before filling with the chicken?
I think I am going to add a 1/4 teaspoon of bullion to each jar before filling it with chicken, and maybe a couple with plain salt instead for comparison. Anyone have any experience in the choices?

To make a long story short... we loved it, and will be doing it again without a doubt!I have not canned meat yet, but I'll be looking forward to your experience. There are many experienced pressure canner folks on the canning thread.

I've added salt and a number of different flavorings including cumin. I like having quick eats to reheat so I have also included par boiled beans and raw rice. THe usually benefit from salt so a bit of garlic salt was added. We try different additions to find what we like. Apparently herbs are not the best to add but I do it anyway.Can always feed it to the chooks or dogs.
