      Hmm, well using it for chicken soup does make some sense I guess. Might be useful for a pandemic stash.

      What’s that she said about peanut butter sauce? What’s that got to do with cold gelled canned whole chicken?

          omfg lmaoo im seriously crying from laughter 🤣…hhold up…🤣🤣…

          why would anyone think a recipe clled sticky chicky dump chicken with those four ingredients taste anything but terrible? lol and people where complaining that it tasted like peanut butter spread on chicken!! lmaoo why would it taste like anything else?? it’s literally that with a spoon of soy sauce mixed in! omg im laughing so hard 😆 yet, there was still someone that said that they liked it. imagine what they usually eat to give this 5 stars 🤢

          that recipe has to be a troll. it cant be for real.

          apparently that great depression era style canned chicken is $25, so theyre paying like 5 times more than if they would have used a frozen chicken. i wouldnt trust the decisions of anyone that has seriously tried that recipe out.

    Food, especially fresh food, used to be a lot more expensive when adjusting for inflation. A canned chicken like this doesn’t look super appetizing right out of the can, but it probably tasted OK after you shredded it and put it in a casserole. And it was significantly cheaper than buying a fresh whole roasted chicken, assuming you lived somewhere that fresh whole roasted chickens were even readily available. Food like this became particularly popular during the great depression, and stuck around for decades afterwards.

    Nowadays, between industrialized farming, highly optimized supply chains, and a buttload of government subsidy, fresh food is comparatively cheap. You can get a whole roasted chicken right off the spit for $5-10 at just about any grocery store. So for most people the value proposition of a $3 canned chicken isn’t really there anymore, especially if you don’t have an enormous baby-boom-era sized family to feed.

      I looked up the ingredients and apparently it’s only chicken, water, and salt, so it’s gotta be the chicken’s own stock (since it’s fully cooked).

      Looks disgusting I guess but I suppose it’s far healthier than many of the more delicious looking products the food industry churns out every day.

        It looks disgusting cuz it’s canned and cold lol. Whenever I cook with real chicken or even beef and there’s broth leftover, it will turn into slight gelatin due to the collagen in the bones! There is flavor and protein in there. It’ll just liquidify when you heat it up and it’s some seasonings and a pinch of flour away from being gravy too.

        Wild how cooking can get when you start to understand ingredients more

      That’s what the girl in the video mentioned here did, and it didn’t seem to turn out that great.

      Perhaps using it for soup, as many other commenters have suggested, is the better move here.

    some people take their canning process to the extremes.

    as an aside, I’ve never seen a canned pickle product. I guess they stopped at chicken.

      What? Lots and lots of pickles are canned (all the ones at the store, except for some of the refrigerated ones). They just do it in glass jars instead of metal.


      Edit: I don’t know why I’m being downvoted for stating a fact. Shelf-stable pickles (that aren’t lacto-fermented) like this…

      …are, in fact, considered “canned.” If you don’t believe me, call up Vlasic yourself and ask them if “canning” accurately describes their manufacturing process. The number is right there on the jar in the picture: 1-800-421-3265.


      Edit 2: Just to be even more clear, pickles like this:

      Are not canned. The difference isn’t the container (which has exactly the same kind of “lug” or “twist-off” lid as the Vlasic jar), but the fact that this one isn’t pasteurized and has a warning label telling you to keep it refrigerated.

        He’s obviously talking about metal cans instead of glass jars, not the manufacturing process called canning.

        When something is put into a can, it’s considered canned.

        When something is put into a jar, it’s considered jarred.

          Nope. When something is heat-sterilized and preserved in a sealed container via water bath or pressure, it’s considered “canned” regardless of what type of container it is. That’s why things like this…

          …are called “canning jars” and not just “jars,” and why using them to preserve food is, in fact, called “canning.”

            Mayhaps in english. Maybe he is not form an english speaking country. I myself am not and canning here is exclusively for metal cans and jarring has a separate word.

              now that you say it, when I think of the word jarring I think of it as an adjective like surprising, shocking.

    I want to see a prochef use this for a recipe.

    My best guess use would be to use it for a stock and make a soup or chili. Might work any application poached chicken is needed.

      Probably not going to happen. I watched the review mentioned in this comment and the verdict was that isn’t not particularly flavorful when just baked in the oven, as the can apparently recommends.

      Does sound like a decent option for making soup, however. Especially during a pandemic.
