canned fried chicken. You have me stumped.

Wait, what? First you fry it, then you can it? Sounds soggy, not crispy. 'Splain yourself, please, how does this work?

We cut up the chicken into it's normal respective parts, leg, thigh, wing, etc, stuff it into jars and can it.
At any time it's desired to have some chicken, you open the jar, add your favorite seasoning and fry it, basically just heating it up. It's not quite melt in your mouth tender, but almost.

Now you have me thinking (and that can be dangerous) that these past fryer aged roosters might could be pressure canned and then fried. Sounds like a win win to me.

pressure cooker can make any piece of meat tender. Make good dumplins too

If frying didn't work it could be used to make chicken and dumplings in shorter time.

See how great minds think alike?

Wide mouth jars is what my wife wants to use. We need to preserve some chicken anyway that doesn't require electricity.

She has a few cases of new half gallon canning jars. That's enough to fry up a bucket full.

It holds 7 quart jars. Water in the can will be about 3/4th up to the top.

It'll be a win win. We do it especially to the older roosters and after the meat has been through this process you can't tell they were tough and stringy before.

Certainly! The canned meat is very handy to have on hand for quick meal preparation.

Wide mouth works best for us.
