Pressure Canning Chicken Leg Quarters

Pressure canning chicken that was on sale for cheap and shelf stable meals... No freezer space, no problem. Processing those legs quarters are easy! With a little knowledge and some basic equipment, you can save a mint on the grocery bills. So, roll up your sleeves and follow along.
This is my first attempt at canning chicken and if I can do it, so can you...

Its been awhile since I canned. Your video helped remind me how to cut the quarters and get the backbone out without sacrificing meat. Thanks!

Thank you!

Cool DARK place.

I was just saying yesterday, we're paying like 3-4$ per lb. for thighs, they had leg quarters for .89 cents a lb. It only makes sense to do exactly what you're doing.

[@pawpawjohnshomesteading1004]

Absolutley! It has been well worth the effort. Good luck with yours.

Thanks for the lesson on cutting.

Great video!

Thanks!

Great video. I do my own deboning and canning to save money. Just me, so I'm not fussy about the looks. But you just showed me a better way to do it. My daughter uses the broth I can. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@pawpawjohnshomesteading1004]

Thank you! You are very welcomed. Glad it helps you and your daughter out.

I was wondering how long should your chicken last on the shelf. How many years or months?

[@pawpawjohnshomesteading1004]

I believe it is 2 to 5 years, but always go by the safety guidelines. If you google "shelf stable food safety usda," you will find a full list to go by.

want to put chicken through a grinder, bone, skin and it comes out like ground chicken, never even knowing it has bone or skin, then I want to can it for my dogs. Do I need to worry about the fat content?

[@pawpawjohnshomesteading1004]

Pretty sure it would be a good idea to trim as much fat off as you can. If it turns out to be too much with just the skin, it should be at the top of the jar after canning. Especially if your grinding the chicken.
Good luck with your canning.

13:27 I was wondering if you have a video making your chicken stock/broth? Thank you

[@pawpawjohnshomesteading1004]

I do not have that video right now but I will make one with the next batch.
Thank you for asking.

[@valerielyle5721]

How many meat chickens? Did you have the deplucker? I found it easier than the way my grandmother methods. But I will do it if needed.
God bless Paw John.

[@pawpawjohnshomesteading1004]

No meat chickens last year. Not sure about this year yet. No deplucker. Glad you found the video useful and thank you.
