My mother made this all the time, in the 50′s ; she actually deboned it all first too … and could fit a fryer in a quart jar. it is absolutely delicious, and we ate it cold, not cooked again. fabulous in chicken salads or on a hot summer day, even great in sandwiches, and so healthy … i cant believe the yuk comments … people now-a-days dont realize a lot of us who werent city slickers, canned or froze almost all of our food. we made our own butter, baked our own bread, grew our own vegetables and raised our own animals. food tasted like food back then …

I totally agree with everyone who is calling out all of the wimpy little people out there. Goatguy has completely hit the mark on this! I have eaten it and you probably have too. It’s the same thing as a can of cooked chicken that you buy to make chicken salad. Oh, but that’s right, except for the bones and skin….ooops that’s right! It’s a bird! It was once alive! Oh no, didn’t anyone tell you?? The “snotty” looking stuff is the aspic, as was said, but it is nothing more than cold chicken broth, which if you had ever actually COOKED A CHICKEN before, you would know that it has a naturally gelatinous (ooooh….noooo…..what a horrible word!) quality when cold. For those smarty-pants out there who are already two steps ahead of me thinking this isn’t true because the broth you took from a can didn’t do that, have a seat because I’m about to gross you out again. When the bones, skin and meat are all cooked together, gelatin is released. Yes, the JELLO kind of gelatin. Would I eat it everyday? Not if I had other things, but everyone who said they are good for camping was right. My aunt used to make them into chicken salad, chicken sandwiches, whatever and, as you can see, I’m still here to tell the tale. SHAME ON YOU, FOOD NETWORK. At a time when many people are going hungry, this is really disgraceful. Well, it’s OK with me if you are just too dainty to eat something like this. I hope you are never so hungry that you have to challenge your dainty little selves to actually succumb to eating something this horrible. I, for one, won’t be going hungry waiting for something prettier to be placed ever-so-gently on my plate.

I can see where you went wrong in prepping this. You dropped it in a pan too large and didn’t try. I know its for laughs, but if you can’t see passed a product that’s a bit odd, well get out of the kitchen and let someone who can cook.

I’ve never even heard of canned whole chicken before seeing this, but I know I’d be able to serve this to anyone and they’d not know unless I told them.

Don’t blame your ingredients, blame your skill levels for a bad dish.
