I got it once and was disappointed. It was a lot of stock with less chicken than if I bought a whole chicken at the grocery store. I expected it to be cram packed with solid chicken.
And then to debone it was a hassle for the result. Resolved to just get the cans of chicken breasts pieces or equivalent if I had to do without refrigeration. Taste was good, but not worth it for the hassle and quantity. ETA: Just reread your post. For 4 people you say? Better bring lots of other canned goods or go hungry. Also, this is way overpriced. The one I bought at the grocery store was about $6 or $7 dollars, not $25. A whole 6 pound chicken in the deli is going to be that or maybe even less. Just get a whole chicken and a bag of ice for your cooler. |

We use to take canned chicken moose hunting for something different.
Quit because of the bones and very little meat for the cost. |

I get the cooked chicken breast retort pouches. 16 ounces of Mahatma Yellow Rice, two cans of cream of mushroom soup, and two pouches of the cooked chicken will easily feed four people, and only takes one pot.

Not sure on the canned whole chickens.... But I had a can of sweet sue chicken and dumplings because it looked good and I try stuff before I stack it deep..
Could not even finish the one can. It was disgusting. No more sweet sue for me. Edit.. I do store the walmart brand canned chicken meat. That stuff is GTG |

WAY too expensive. You could goto your local grocery store and buy chicken breast + jars for the same price end up with a TON of chicken to pressure can.
The commercially canned cubed chicken I buy is about $3-4 per can. For $10 though you can end up with enough chicken breast (or whatever part you want to chop up) for a couple weeks worth of meals. |

I use Knorr dry chicken stock to augment the canned chicken meat and/or rice. A tiny spoon full will season a whole pot of whatever and it keeps for a long time in the cabinet.

Why not just buy the higher quality canned breast meat in volume at Costco or Sam's?
Our local Costco has a few different canned chicken vendors to select from. Same with the canned tuna. That Sweet Suzy poo shit is awful. |

I've canned cut up chicken, bone in. Doesn't look like much but it's delicious. The broth is very rich and because of the dark cuts the breast meat is moist and flavorful.

Related to the Sweet Sue Chicken and Dumplings, do yourself a favor and try the Dinty Moore Chicken and Dumplings! Trust me it is the closest thing to homemade that I've found. At Walmart, it's also cheaper than Sweet Sue!

I can't tell you about "long term" shelf life, the longest I've had a pouch last in my pantry is about six months. It was perfectly fine after that time. |

@GreatDane
Maybe i did it wrong, i received your @.  I have eaten them, being a year old or so also, and they were fine. Was hoping someone had tested them further out. I just had a mountain house spaghetti that was the old style packaging, the other night. I think it was purchased about 2009 in vegas at an rei. It was excellant. I forgot the noodles come pre-cut up also.

I like the sweet sue chicken and dumplings. It does seem to need a little simmer time in the pot though for best results.
Kind of like freeze dried eggs, they're best if you actually cook them a bit in a pan. |

Does that come served up with a big hunkin' slice of hot baked apple crumble pie?  As Rachel Ray sez, 'YUMMO!

I'm not a fan of long term storage of poultry products. I have 32 laying hens an a roo and that will keep us in eggs and meat. For long term storage, I like pork.

I'm intrigued. whats the consensus? Some say it good others not so much. I like the idea of bringing it to camp and the convenience, there's 4 of us with the kids, (teenagers not toddlers). I'd post a picture but alas, I CAN'T! https://www.amazon.com/Sweet-Sue-Chicken-without-Giblets/dp/B00E3AYVA8 -I liked it. It is indeed a whole cooked chicken in a can, with broth and not water. It came out as a whole bird, but was fairly mushy to work with in separating the meat from the bones. IIRC, I got enough meat for 3 well provisioned chicken sandwiches. So I bought more. |

The "jelly" is from rendered connective tissue. It's what makes a nice rich broth. If it's not in the can I wonder if they cooked the chicken first, then cooled it to remove it for cosmetic reasons, then canned it, thus cooking it a second time.
My home canned chicken might not be pretty but it all looks the same in a recipe and the collagen would provide added nutrition. I really need to do a few more batches. I'll wait till the weather cools off so I don't hear up the house. At least pressure canning doesn't heat the house up nearly as bad as water bath canning. It's really easy to can meat. Much easier than making jam and stuff. |

I had some dinty moore chicken and dumplings. Let tell ya....I love chicken, but the shit that was "chicken" in that focker was shit. I dont know what the hell it was...but it tasted like some fish with a metal hint to it. The rest was good, but tossed the so called chicken.

A few years ago I opened up a can of the Sweet Sue chicken and dumplings. I had a dozen cans the wife bought on sale.
The contents of the can were a bloody mess of nastiness. 
My kids took one look at it and started retching. My oldest daughter said she would eat the neighbors dog before she would eat that.
I emailed Sweet Sue and they told me that happens sometimes, but recooking it should make it safe to eat. |

Oddly enough, I enjoyed Sweet Sue Chicken and Dumplings back in the 1970s. Hadn't had if for decades. Tried it again about 10 years ago. It was the most foul thing I'd eaten in a long time. I'd rather eat dog food than that.
Either my tastes did a 180 in the intervening years, or their quality has gone way down. |
