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?
TheMagicalTimonini@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Your scientists were so preoccupied with canned chicken, they didn’t stop to think if they should chicken.

what would be the best temperature for fucking this?

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.
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.

It looks nasty but I bet you that “gelatin” actually makes for some fantastic stock
SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 9 months ago
If you love Buffalo chicken dip you’ve probably enjoyed this type of chicken before.
MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 9 months ago
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.
UsernameIsTooLon@lemmy.world 9 months ago
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
CthulhuDreamer@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I think you are supposed to cooking for a bit under the grill and it will look fine.
MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 9 months ago
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.

Probably would be fine for soup or stock.
MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 9 months ago
I looked up the ingredients, and apparently it’s literally only chicken, water, and salt. So it could be worse I guess.

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.
grue@lemmy.world 9 months ago

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.
Algaroth@lemmy.world 9 months ago
This is the kind of shit the internet was made to argue about.
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 9 months ago
When something is put into a can, it’s considered canned.
When something is put into a jar, it’s considered jarred.

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

You only think that’s more humane because you cannot hear the plants’ cries for help when you slaughter them.

Emmymade on YouTube did an “Apocalypse Dinner” featuring these whole canned things, the chicken, brown bread, and cheese being the subjects of the video.
She’s pretty fun and tries out some odd stuff occasionally, but this particular episode stuck in my mind as I’d never seen one of these prepared and eaten before.

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.
MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 9 months ago
I want to see a prochef use this for a recipe.
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.

The channel i was thinking of is Epicurious. They have some videos using canned tuna that look edible, at least. There is an example in the link.

This is why Americans are the only country that doesn’t get to insult British food.
aidan@lemmy.world 9 months ago
American living abroad, food is one of the things I miss the most, and not just classic American foods. But, outside of extremely large metropolises, international options are often lacking in European cities in general.
gmtom@lemmy.world 9 months ago

That’s true in America too no? Like from my experience even fairly large towns just have the major fast food brands and not much else, unless they’re on the southern border.

robocall@lemmy.world 9 months ago
If someone is going camping, or to a cabin with limited or no electricity, this is a convenient way to store chicken. Preppers also buy this stuff.

Growing up latch key many a canned chicken was turned into chicken salad.
Tastes better than it looks but that’s not saying much. Would not recommend but if yer hungry dive in.
