Sharon cuts the breast out - that gets frozen most time-when we cut the rest off bone it gets canned no water or precook - thats what is used for stock or chicken salad [ one of my favorite ways to eat chicken ]I haven't tried it yet and I may have goofed it up. We pressure canned all the older cock birds. The directions said to use raw chicken and that sounded wrong, so I cooked it, first. First time using a pressure canner and then we realized how much the meat cooks while being canned. The meat fell apart inside the now sealed jars. So, I'm not sure how it's going to taste.
I never buy canned chicken, so can't compare.
