Waiting for that vent to vent for 10 minutes was the longest 10 minutes of my life! LOL…. I did it!! I followed your instructions to the tea and they came out beautifully!!! Guess I don’t have to ask for private lesson!! I just wanted someone to hold my hand that’s all….Thank you Ma’am for all your instructions and video’s!!!!! You held my hand throughout my processing….🥰

I'd take "ugly" home canned chicken any day, over store bought.

My grandkids favorite meals with canned chicken is Chicken and dumplings, chicken and egg noodle soup, bbq chicken sandwichs, chicken with gravy and dressing and chicken burritos!

Buy a whole pork loin and can it the same way you are doing chicken.... Complete. Game. Changer

I use the amber/brown jars for meats. Nobody ever knew what the chicken looked like 😳

There is no such thing as ugly chicken when you are filling the pantry shelves! WooooHoooo!

What a great video! When I was a child, my Grandmother always purchased chicken canned in a glass jar at Woodward's Department store. She used it to make my delicious sandwiches for my school lunch... But, once Woodward's closed down I never saw chicken for sale in glass jars again. In fact for many years I have never seen canned chicken for sale at all... Now I am thinking of making some and just bought a small pressure canner. Canned chicken is marvellous! I am 74 years old and just getting back into canning...

Pressure canned chicken is the first food I ever canned. It is the easiest and most delicious... and the natural broth is liquid gold💛💛💛

Thank you for keeping me company while I canned ground beef today. Doing it by myself is lonely sometimes 🙂

One year when we raised turkeys, I did the same thing with turkey meat. Delicious! Turkey and dumplings is as good as chicken and dumplings. In the fall when whole turkeys are on sale would be a great time to can turkey. I had a freezer failure a few years ago, we lost about 300 lbs. of home-raised pork. Canned meats are wonderful and a great alternative to freezing.

Found split chicken breasts for 0.88 per lb. Bought 12 for a total of 15.97. Canned 11 pint of chicken, made 11 pints of stock from the bones. It is so pretty. Also found pork tenderloin for $1.29 a pound.

I started canning meats for the same reason that you mention. One time the electricity went out for ten days and another time the freezer gave up the ghost. fortunately, I had the canning equipment, jars and lids to do what I needed to do to rescue the food in the freezer both times!

Watching you can this chicken is just so wonderful. I bet your heart is so happy just listening to your accomplishment as each of the lids pop!

I've been watching all your videos in these uncertain times. And this one sold me. I had been looking to buy a chest freezer and they are so expensive and at this time hard to find. Watching your videos has convinced me to give pressure canning a try instead. I see some ugly chicken in my future :) Thank you for your videos!

I always can ugly chicken! I make mine into tacos, pot pie, salads, burritos, soups, all kinds of things! It's a perfect meal.

Thank you for your message to me yesterday... so today I tried canning some chicken thighs... they were big thighs, and four fit perfectly into the 750 ml Bernardin jars. I left the bones in... it was so simple. I did it just the way you show here and it turned out perfect! I am getting excited about canning again... I did a lot of canning with my Dad when I was a young teenager as he had a huge organic garden and lots of fruit trees... It was one of the most fun things I did with my Dad... After about 30 years of not canning, at age 74, I am back at it...

I made this 1 month ago. I was quite skeptical and so was my family. Well last night my little boy wanted chicken noodle soup. WOW we were blown away just how good it is.

I like to can chicken thighs bone in, and skin on. Very cheap and great broth as a bonus. Also as an Alaskan I always have more salmon than I can fit in a freezer so I can it in the same way, minus the bones.

I get my lids at the Dollar General. Golden Harvest brand which is also a part of the Ball family. In my area they are $1.75 a dozen. Haven't had any lid failures yet and I've been using them all summer.

I am addicted to canning chicken. Went on sale for a long time around here, and now I have canned chicken coming out my ears. LOL There is just something so satisfying about taking them out and watching them bubble.

Had keto 'ugly' chicken noodle soup last night (zucchini noodles) in 15 minutes. Hit my satisfaction button.

I like adding herbs and a splash of cayenne pepper, chicken not so ugly😊

SO SO DELICIOUS!!! You are the first person who did teach me the pressure canner rules and that so gorgeous chicken!! Thanks a million times. Sorry for my English, I am a French speaking from Province of Quebec, Canada!!

I've got ugly chicken, beef, pork and venison on my shelf right now lol. It can be ugly all it wants it's DELICIOUS!!!!!

I have been watching Three Rivers Homestead lately, she cans all their foods! That lady is awesome! I believe she now has 8 children, and they help her a lot! Reminds me of back in the day when families were so close together.

I'm at the end of my chicken I canned right before Zaycon went under. I'm watching the sales ads here looking for a great deal, but, in the meantime, I am putting up beef and pork as we find deals on it. I love using my "ugly chicken" in lots of things, from chicken and rice to stir fries.

Thanks for the Do Not Microwave! Information. Will not do it again!

I buy the thighs, skin and debone then Can, I like the taste better than the breastmeat and Cheaper

smiling, you could not have picked a better time to show this than now with the storm supposedly coming through in a couple of days, Thank you and God Bless you and yours please stay safe.

Great video! Wish this had been out a month ago. I dumpster dive and found a fantastic haul of chicken and other meats, but mostly chicken, from a local store. Saved as much as I thought I could at the time. Totally filled my 2 upright freezers. Friends and family had no room in their freezers. I was so sad to see that much food go to waste. Well, thanks to you...no more! By the way, the food was still partially frozen and/or cold to the touch.

I’ve been wanting to do this, I live in central Wisconsin and in the northern part of my county the last of the prairie chickens live,back in the 40’s and 50’s my dad hunted them ,but when he’d take me grouse hunting, in that area , we’d run into wood cook stoves out in the woods and he told me that back in the depression,when he was a boy , families would head out there in the fall ,camp and hunt prairie chicken and they canned them on those wood stoves , so I guess they had ugly prairie chicken, back then my dad said there were lots of prairie chickens ,now they’re protected

When the cheap turkeys are really on sale before the holidays, buy and can

Yummy! Ugly chicken Alfredo, chicken spaghetti, chicken salad, chicken with broccoli and chopped apple and dried cranberry salad, chicken noodle and dumplings. We use it any way we would using cooked chicken, but makes for super fast meal preps. Canned chicken and beef are tastier to me than fresh. I cannot substitute the taste from pressure canning! Thank you so much for sharing your canning with us. I gained confidence in my canning by watching you, and Heather! Love you both!

We finally canned our first ugly chicken this week and tried it in homemade chicken noodle soup last night. It was sooo good and super convenient! Thank you Leisa!

There is nothing ugly about that chicken besides it is just chicken. Canning is a great art and a calming one at that. Thanks for the lesson.

I love canning chicken, makes super fast & easy meals! 🤗

Looks like gold to me! Love hearing that ping.

I sear them before I can them. My attempt at ugly tuna, resulted in jars that needed a toothbrush to get the jar clean

I made my first batch - 8 pints - yesterday in my new Instant Pot Max. Today I made a big batch of homemade noodles. I emptied a jar of chicken, it’s broth plus some extra, a couple of sliced carrots, half of a small onion, a rib sliced celery, cooked gently until the veggies were done, then added my homemade noodles. When they were cooked, I added some frozen baby peas (they keep their color that way), and we had the best chicken noodle dinner I have ever made! I sent Hubs to my 92 year old friend’s house with a pint of this goodness so she can have some after chemo tomorrow. This is beautiful chicken that makes a beautiful meal, and I think you are one beautiful lady to have brought it to our attention! Thank you! I am a big fan of ugly chicken and beautiful you! (Your fear is shared, BTW, as I live in a hurricane zone)

Look on Amazon there are several different styles of freezer locks. We lost a bunch of stuff and it made me cry years ago so now we keep that lock on every time.

I can "ugly chicken" all the time. It's AWESOME and so flexible. Chicken salad, chicken pot pie, chicken & noodles, chicken & dumplings, chicken casseroles, chicken soft tacos, chicken enchiiladas, and on and on and on. EXCELLENT video for someone who hasn't done this before!

I get my Ball brand lids at Walmart for $1.92 per dozen, no shipping for regular or wide mouth, wide mouth are a little more money and buying them in the store means no shipping cost. You can order them also on Walmart.com, and if you order enough, the shipping is free. I can ugly chicken as well and use it in 8 different ways. Good video.

I just came across your videos and with all the crazy in the world now I'm going to get on the ball and buy while I can and can it up

I am about to do quarts of ugly chicken this morning. Ahead of Canuary 2024.

So easy to open a jar of chicken and heat it up, thicken the broth and serve it over mashed potatoes, rice or noodles. Add a vegetable and dinner is served.

Excellent tip on wiping the rims of jars with VINEGAR!

So.....I did it the "ugly" way and was pleasantly surprised! Normally, I par cook the can with broth....beautiful cans but a lot more work and not much difference in a recipe. Thanks for posting.

Oh my it ugly Chicken!! I have heard so much about it. Can't wait to try it myself!!

I can chicken, bbq pork and roast beef, chilli, tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, salsa, pinto beans, pickles, sweet potatoes, beef stew....some foods I water bath...low acidic foods I pressure can. I can't keep enough jars lids bands etc. We love to eat what we have canned and is good to know I have things on hand in case of power outage or a snow storm etc.

I've never can chicken before I have pork but after watching this I don't know why I couldn't can the chicken also thanks for this video

Thank you Leisa! I love canning chicken but it is really fun to watch others do it too! :) FYI: You, Linda, Mandy & Heather taught me how to can :)

Hi Lisa, I'm a brand new subscriber but not a new viewer. I've watched for over a year but always through Roku where I couldn't subscribe or comment, but I have certainly enjoyed following you. I've canned for over 40 years and am still going strong! You are a great teacher and thanks for your commitment to inspiring others to 'do it right'! Appreciate you - so glad to finally be able to comment!

Most of all delish! Everyone who has tasted my ugly chicken loves it. I even had to teach a class to my friends on how to do it.

I have added 1 chicken bouillon cube to my “ugly” chicken when canning quart jars

Watched your video and canned 32 lbs. Because I found a great sale on chicken breast. I LOVE the name Ugly Chicken! Now I've canned some Ugly Pork Loin, and Ugly Beef Roast! Love my UGLY meats, delicious!

Ohh, Leisa! I wish I was 10 yrs. younger, if only to justify canning 'beautiful' chicken! I love the flavor that develops in the jars...one can actually see it, and especially when someone holds up a piece...mannnn.... breaks my heart! lol.

When I bought the Presto Canner, my husband didn't understand the necessity of canning but a good husband respect you and he helped me. He did the same reaction of: "it's ugly do you think that you succeeded your chicken?? I am sure but I took a fork and showed him how tender the chicken was tender and make him. After that he never ask the question. My favourite is with Pineapple sauce and rie + a chicken that you an ut with the side of your fork!!! Yummmmmm!

I searched and searched for canning lids on amazon this spring. I wish I had known this was a reliable company. Lehman’s ended up offering free shipping in July so I ended up paying 23 cents a lid. We are always looking for the best deal! Thanks for sharing.

I love this “ugly chicken”. Thanks to you I canned my first chicken and haven’t stopped!!!

I do the ugly chicken rather than the labor intensive chicken and it is ugly but it tastes good. Sometimes I will can my left over turkey and it looks much nicer.

That’s right up my alley!!! I love Mexican!

It was $10 shipping on the lids for so California. Just getting the bulk was worth the purchase.

I have been canning ‘ugly’ chicken for years and my 5 kids won’t eat chicken from a store bought can..they say it tastes like tin! And hello from West Michigan

I can ugly meat. I raw pack. I love the quick meals I can make from this canned meats.

Glad I found your channel! I live in Central Florida on Social Security, so canning and preserving food is a must. I grow a 30 x 40 foot garden and can the produce. I make my own tomato sauce, and when I can't grow tomatoes, I'll buy 25 lbs at a time and process them. I usually buy 40 lb boxes of boneless, skinless chicken breast from a local meat packing company. It's a little more expensive, but I can fill my freezer and have plenty when chicken is sky-high. I do buy chicken on sale, too - $0.49 chicken leg quarters and $0.99 chicken breast is just too hard to pass up! Most of the time I vacu-seal and freeze meat in 1 lb packages, but if I want "pretty chicken" or other meat, this is when I hot pack it. I buy beef round and sirloin on sale and either grind it or cut it into stew meat, and I'll buy pork loin for chops, and shoulder - that I grind and make sausages. Needless to say, my freezer if FULL most of the time. Now the fun starts....We get hurricanes here. One is actually impending in a couple of days and may be a category 4 - Dorian. That usually means that we'll be without power for a few weeks after it passes. Like you, I don't have a generator, but I do have a gas stove. I can everything in my freezer as it thaws out, so that means raw packing - Ugly meat - good food! No A/C so the house it hot anyway - might just as well can!

I'm 70, by watching you I did my first attempt at canned chicken successfully. Your videos are precise and to the point. Thank you.

Love watching your channel. I used to can with my Mom when I was younger. I cannot find a pressure canner anywhere. I wanted the 23 qt Presto and the only ones I can find are on line and they want a fortune for them and I don't know some of the companies that are selling them. I hate this COVID crap.

I love canning chicken or pretty much any meat. Makes cook dinner or lunch some much easier.

Believe it or not, this will also be for our dogs! Great how to for novice canners like me. Thanks!✝️🙏

I agree with you... LOVE CANNING UGLY CHICKEN!... I feel safer with it canned on a shelf then in our freezer. We also like making chicken tacos with it. My husband’s favorite.

The same thing happened to me with my freezer in April of 2021. My husband had to go into hospital and I never noticed the freezer had been cracked open for 2 days as 8 wasn't home much. My daughter-in-law said something was dead in there and we found freezer open. I lost over $500 of food. After that I voted to start canning meat instead of depending on my deep freeze.

I canned more ugly chicken today. I did put lemon pepper and rosemary in the jars. It smelled so good and my hubby was excited. I also canned cubed beef roast with some steak seasoning. Yummy!!

I have a bunch of chicken I need to can as well. I love my home canned chicken.

Thanx, Tom and Sheila

Love the convenience of my ugly chicken 😃

soups, dips and chicken salads are the go to around here. favorite soup at the moment is buffalo chicken soup.

I shredded/mashed a qt of ugly chicken, added an egg, fave seasoning (any mix will do), grated Parmesan, formed into balls and browned lightly on 2 sides. Sauté bell pepper, onion, add mushrooms & add to chicken. Add marinara and top with more grated parm, heat through and serve!

80 lbs of ugly chicken this yr. .40 a lb was a blessing and supplied a large part of preps.

My mother Susan Heitz and I watch you all the time. You're an inspiration and rockin lady!! Thanks for all the teaching you do xoxo

I did it with thighs and did legs in quart jars its delicious !

I made ugly chicken and Oh my god it makes the best pasta dishes. We prefer it over the frozen chicken for those dishes.

LOVE these videos! (just placed an order through your amazon link, too. Thanks!) You are amazing. I'm jealous of your $.99 cent chicken. haha

This was the best ugly chicken EVER!! The trick is minimal fat before it goes into the jars. I left the skin on my leg quarters before and too much fat on top. THANKS SO VERY FOR THE VIDEO

$.99 a pound! What a steal!! In our area a sale would be $2.99. I even live in chicken capital.

1 1/4” headspace per the newer guidelines.

My first time on your channel and thank you for doing so I want to learn how to can... I get sciatica nerve pinched all the time that knocks me down

I have frozen chicken (mostly white meat) and will have to check canning recipe for that. UGLY? Make great casseroles or stews or even salads - oh and soup. No meat is all that pretty if you can see it in the jar.

Well now I need to see you open one of those jars and make a meal out of it! I know you said all the cool things you can do, but I want to see you do it!

Love ugly chicken. It's one of the best things to have in our pantry.

Yes it may be ugly but you are right it is delicious!!!

Just came across your channel tonight. This is the 2nd video of yours I have watched, and enjoyed it very much. You give good instruction. I have been thinking of getting into canning lately, and you have encouraged me to do just that. Thanks for your help, and I have just subscribed to your channel.

I have a quite a lot of chicken. I'm looking forward to doing this.

Ugly chicken is the best! We use it quite often for BBQ chicken pizza and for chicken enchilada bake. I have about 6 whole chickens I need to can to make room for the beef we're getting next week.

Now that we might be facing a pandemic, canning chicken sounds like a good idea. Baby, You need to know about "Buck" knives....we have so many hunting knives that are 100% in the kitchen. Love Your video. With the Presto, which I have, you have to purchase the second rack separately. I do love my Presto canner though. Love to hear the "popping" sound too.

your jar caps you were talking about are made by jarden brands that is the German side of their brand and they are the ones who make all the ball jars and are owned by Ball corporation. Just a side note. Happy canning. I get my lids from them too. They are based here I Indiana. I get mine from a friend that works there. Mine are the test run lids. New, never been use, but it's an incomplete case because they pull some out for testing.

Love it......

I have this EXACT same worry! I'm all about canning because you never know when that day comes and you go to check your freezers and discover something really bad happened and I have four. Two for meat, one for eggs, produce and milk and one for finished freezer meals. It would be devastating if one or more went down. I do canning and dehydrate to diversify.

I don't think it looks "ugly." Look GREAT to me!!!!

so tonight we had my ugly chicken alfredo with broccoli! delicious! Homemade one-hour bread for 5 cheese garlic bread. yum. thanks for encouraging us. simple easy quick and again all ate up.

Looks delicious 😋. My mom and grandma used to pressure cook beef and it was the best. Too bad you can't make this in an electric pressure cooker but I read your reply to someone else about that. I'm a bit scared of this type but plan to research more. This intrigues me.
