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

What happens here

After filling each jar, wipe the rim clean to ensure a good seal. Retrieve a warm lid from the small pot using a magnetic lid lifter and place it onto the jar. Then, take a warm ring and screw it onto the jar, tightening it 'grandma tight' (snug but not excessively tight, allowing air to escape). This allows the jar to 'burp' out air to create a vacuum seal. Carefully place the filled and lidded jars into the pressure canner. If you don't have enough jars to fill the canner, you can use an empty jar filled with water in any empty spots to prevent other jars from moving around. Close the pressure canner and bring it up to pressure. Once the canner starts to jiggle, indicating 7 pounds of pressure, lower the heat to medium-low and set a timer for 35 minutes.

Goal: Place the lids and rings on the filled jars, tightening them 'grandma tight,' then load them into the pressure canner and process at 7 pounds of pressure for 35 minutes.

fall around in there now that we've got our chicken in our jars it's time to put our Lids on now this is an important step okay so we want to line our lid up we want to make sure this rubber is a little bit soft we'll set our lid on there in place we'll put our ring on and we are going to put it Grandma tight okay because there is a term you can use not cinching it down as hard as we can but just Loosely hand tight grandma tight think of a little old lady tightening the lid now I know there's some strong little old ladies out there but just tighten it Grandma tight and then we'll set them over in the pressure cooker the reason we do that is because this is going to expand and we're going to burp out air create a vacuum here and the vacuum is what prevents bacteria from growing the vacuum and the fact that we're going to have it in the pressure cooker at seven pounds of pressure for 35 minutes so we'll go ahead and do all these jars load them in the pressure cooker and we're waiting for our pressure cooker right now and as soon as it starts to jiggle we will start our timer we want a jiggle jiggle like that not a vigorous jiggle so once it starts jiggling we'll turn our heat down to about medium medium low for 35 minutes all right that's our seven pounds of jiggle we want to turn around down about medium and let it jiggle jiggle wiggle wiggle 35 minutes all right 35 minutes have gone by these two pans are ready to rock and roll we'll go ahead and load up our next jars and we're going to let this cool off on its own okay there's a little safety latch on the pressure cooker once the pressure is all the way down it'll stop jiggling there'll be no more pressure we'll open it up and I'll show you what we do there's a specific procedure that you need to follow here and then you're going to start hearing that noise think think that pink noise when it seals guys
