A Whole Chicken In A Can: YUMMO!

Published on: April 29, 2009 – 1:18 pm by Jillian Madison Comment

Tracy from I Hate My Message Board is a very, very brave woman. You see, not only did she purchase one of Sweet Sue’s Canned Whole Chickens, but she actually cooked it… and ate some of it. And luckily for all of us less brave souls, she photographed the entire process.

I don’t know about you guys, but I wouldn’t eat anything that looked like forgotten leftovers from the “Neo Being Birthed In The Matrix” scene… though I do fully expect to see Sandra Lee pouring one of these into a slow cooker on an episode of Semi-Homemade. Bon appetit!

    On closer inspection, the chicken appears to be . . . hairy. Which begs the question, was it in the process of evolving when it was crammed into the can with a cupful of its own intestinal fluids?

  7. April 29th, 2009

    That third picture of the chicken emerging from the can is making me nauseous. It also makes me think of a less gory version of that scene from Alien.

    With all that slime it appears the can is giving birth to it, and it seems to be lying in a pool of its own afterbirth. Ewwwwwwww. There is nothing delicious-looking about that. And why do they use the word delicious so many times on the can? Who are they trying to convince? This is beyond disgusting.

    I just noticed that one of the instructions on the can says “chill before opening”. Do they mean the can of chicken or “chill out, dude, cause this is gross”.

  15. Kevin
    April 29th, 2009

    I actually tried it myself.

    First, its a very small chicken w/ very little meat (how else could they cram it into a can). Second, it smells like nothing I have ever smelled before. The only description is “really old soup,” you find in the back of your fridge that you’re just not sure is still good, so you hand it to your dog and he sniffs it and backs up.

    Next, it disintegrates after you cook it. Following the instructions, I took the “juice” and made a gravy.

    Scraping up some meat, what little there is, with the gravy, and PUT IT IN MY MOUTH.

    It sort of tastes like chicken & gravy, sort of. I wouldn’t turn it down if I was starving, but I can say this, I will never eat another one unless I was starving.

    -and I mean, zombie brain eating starving…

    Are you people daft? Its a “canned” chicken, like all “canned” goods, its heated in the can. It clearly says on the can…fully cooked.

    Of course if you cook it again it will fall apart. What did you expect? All you need to do is heat it up. Sissies.

    I’ve been eating whole chicken in a can since I was a kid. You don,t have to cook it in the oven, you can eat it straight out of the can. We used to have it for lunch when we where out working the fields. What a great taste and so moist.(Portage La Prairie, Manitoba, Canada.)

    Yeah, you guys are wimps.
    It’s just cooked chicken put into a can.

    The can is sterile, the cooked chicken is sterile, the “slime” that’s so “gross” is just grease/fat.

    As long as it’s not too old, there’s nothing to be grossed out about.

  31. April 29th, 2009

    It looks a bit unappetizing coming out of the can, but there isn’t anything gross about it.

    If you had ever made fresh chicken stock, you’d know that it tends to gelatinize and look like slime when it’s cold, the canning process cooks the chicken, and probably makes a pretty decent chicken stock around it at the same time.

    If you broiled it for a bit to get it looking nice and browned, it would probably taste no different than any other slow cooked chicken.

    The canned chicken is not new.My oldest is 41 years old.I use to buy that can of chicken when my kids were growing up.It is just cooked chicken put into a can.The slimy stuf is the same stuff you get when you cook a turkey for holidays and put it in the fridge.The liquid around it gels.You make gravy out of it.How often do you really cook to not know this?We did not have the beautiful FROZEN FOODS that we have now.That can of chicken was what a Mom had for a FAST food to fix a fast dinner when we had to continue working when we got home from work.See, most women have 2 or more jobs.Most Moms have more than 2 jobs 24/7. When you have a new marriage or a new marriage and a new family and the $ is tight, you work with what you have in your cupboards, freezer and fridge.THAT is what Sandra Lee does.The creativity is great, but the decorating is not necessary for every day.That can go to once a month with a them and she can just stick to the creative part with what people have in their homes without having to go to the store.

    [...] Roasting a chicken is probably one of the easiest things to do. Some people, fearing dry breast or undercooked dark meat, fuss with the oven as they cook a bird, deploying tin foil, trussing twine, toothpicks, and crazy methods that resemble superstitious rituals. Through my favorite food blog, The Paupered Chef, I found Barbara Kafka’s flawless and ridiculously easy chicken roasting method that even a completely inexperienced cook could pull off with fabulous results. There is, then, absolutely no reason canned whole chicken should exist.

  105. June 26th, 2009

    I have used the canned chicken many times and so have many other members of my family and friends. It is wonderful for chicken and noodles, chicken casseroles, etc. The chicken is well cooked, falling off the bone and the broth is very flavorful, not the watered down kind. Yes, the product may look gross but most chickens do when cooked. Don’t let it’s appearance fool you. I just wonder why they took this off the market at grocery stores. It was very convenient for quick meals, much better than the steaks that some people eat rare, talk about gross! Get these back on the grocery store shelves, please!!!!!

That chicken been cooked to death — that’s why all that gelatin — some of you called it slime — is in there. Ain’t raw, and it ain’t “gross”. That’s just what happens when you cook something with bones in it and shove it into a can. And you know what? It tastes just like chicken.

    Sad. It was a little animal at one time and just went to waste. Should have at least fed it to the dog. It’s a real chicken, so what?

    Here is a message to everyone squeamish about the gelatin that appears when you cook meat in a can.

    1) Give up gummi bears
    2) Give up marshmallows
    3) Give up gum/altoids/mints
    4) Give up pop tarts
    5) Give up sunny d

    Then come and talk to the canned meat producers!

    Tosh.0 dared a morbidly obese gentleman to eat six of these gems in one sitting. On camera. He did. Cold. Straight from the can. GAG

    I’m sure it tastes just fine cooked into something(it’s hard to ruin chicken) if you can get over the visual. After all, people eat processed foods that are far lower down the food chain than a whole chicken, however the preparation happens to leave it visually.

    One thing however… this whole “we have it in the fallout shelter”. Newsflash: If you need a fallout shelter that chicken will be your last meal. Do yourself a favour and splurge on some MREs if you’re that worried about some kind of apocolyptic event you actually expect to survive… in a home shelter… with canned chickens.

    For people used to this from a time when “it was fast food”… bull. My great grandmother definitely lived in that time, and her version of fast food was killing the chicken and roasting it. I’m not kidding in the slightest either. Hell, people used to hang foul (not chicken granted) and that improves the flavour! Really, canning poultry makes no sense from any, but a financial standpoint…. and I’m not sold on that either. If you’re so poor you need canned chicken, I’d consider raising chickens, or NOT EATING CHICKEN. I’d rather eat rice and beans than that ****.

    WHoever manufacture’s these things should be put to death. Sick. Im sure that there are a bunch of sterilants and mercury included to wipe out the % of the population stupid enough to purchase this crap.

    [...] Whole chicken in a can is gross: As one might imagine, a full chicken carcass in a can is a nightmarish food product that should not be consumed anywhere outside a bomb shelter. A woman named Tracy from something called “I Hate My Message Board” proves it by taking the time to buy, prepare and document her experience with canned chicken. She wants you to know that she did not feed it to her children.

    Yeah, they used to sell these in the grocery store in our small town in Alaska. Basically they are what fishermen call “boat food”: what you eat after all the good food has expired from lack of refrigeration. Like Spam or Underwood Deviled Ham. As a result of eating bizarre non-perishables like this, Alaskan fishermen have the culinary standards of coyotes.

    That would be great in a food fight
