How to can chicken! Easy quick Long term storage...without refrigeration!

What happens here

Once the 35 minutes of canning are complete, turn off the heat but do not open the pressure canner immediately. Allow the canner to cool down naturally until the pressure indicator drops and the safety latch releases. This slow depressurization is crucial to prevent liquid loss from the jars and ensure a strong seal. Once the canner is safe to open, carefully remove the lid. Using jar lifter tongs, extract each hot jar and place it on a heat-resistant surface, like a cutting board or a towel-covered counter, away from drafts. Using a clean towel, dry the tops and sides of the jars, being careful not to disturb the lids. Once they are dry, you can gently tighten the rings. Let the jars sit undisturbed for 24-48 hours to fully seal. After confirming all seals are good (the lids should be concave and not flex when pressed), label each jar with the contents (e.g., 'Breast Chicken') and the canning date (e.g., '1/23'). Store in a cool, dark place.

Goal: After canning, allow the pressure canner to naturally cool, then carefully remove the jars, dry them, tighten the rings, and label them with the contents and date.
