Ditto that.We just cut up raw chicken into peices, & cook it right in the jar for storage. When we want soup, we just grab a jar, & add it to the pot. Nice thing about canned chicken, is you can add spices to it
Those older birds make the very best soup (or gumbo). Cut, put in jars, and pressure can, and enjoy. The other thing we like to do is grind the meat down for sausage.
