A Whole Chicken In A Can: YUMMO!
![]() |
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!




15 minutes at 475 degrees later… voila!


(Thanks to Tracy for the images. She wants the world to know she did not feed this crap to her kids!)

[...] Whole Chicken In a Can(article) – Chicken is rather easy to make but if you’re extremely lazy or you just hate yourself – you can also purchase a whole chicken in a can. Yes, a can. It sits there in its own delicious congealed fat just waiting for someone to eat it. [...]
I think it would be GREAT to take camping.

[...] of it before. It’s not new but in case you have never experienced chicken in a can before, Food Network Humor chronicled the whole experience for us. Yes the chicken is whole, fully cooked and comes in a can. [...]
Wow… so many people influenced by the visuals! Happy grrlz ‘n’ boyzz buy their sausages, tube-steak (not-dogs), their Campbell’s chicken soup, their bright red foamboarded “cuts” of beef, pork and turkey breast. How many of you would eat it if you had to eviscerate it? How many would be disgusted at the pink-grey pile of perfectly EDIBLE but disgusting looking “parts” that end up in a Ballpark Hot Dog? But that pretty blended, compressed, pink, artificially smoked, precooked, happy-packaged, “just right” textured composite of snouts, knuckles, miscellaneous chunks, hunks of fats, legal bits and maximum-allowed pass-through of stuff which isn’t as officially recognized as good-for-you … and we slush on the mustard, the relish and munch it down as “good”.
Most A’mericans consider tripe unfit for consumption, but the Mexicans take it to a high art. (Among others). Southerners with their (damned) chitlins, Northerners with their (damned) head cheese, Easterners (and Brits) with their kidney pies. Oh, and that enshrined effigy to unpardonable culinary terpitude, the Haggis.
A pale haunt of a chicken is its own long-cooked aspic? In a can? Seems little different to me from the whole-chicken cooked in a pot of water, the very definition of a “start with” for 90% of a Mexican or Latin American recipe for … shredded chicken with… (anything, fill in the blank).
Besides the REALITY of aspic looking snotty and phlegm-like when cold, what other objection do you have to well cooked canned chicken? YOUR OWN “boiled chicken” will turn out just as snotty in the refrigerator, and that chicken in your Campbells Chick’n'Stars soup is from essentially inedible hens past their egg-laying factory prime. Raise your own flightless fowl, ring their necks, decapitate and drain, then eviscerate with a dull knife and your ungloved hands. Toast to a pretty brown in a 375 for 45 minutes, garnish with perky dead plants and gently cleave off steaming hunks of bird flesh, you wimps. You earned it.

Please tell me how I can get my hands on a can of this wondrous product? I am uk based.
I have eaten many canned chickens, they were very trendy in the 40′s and 50′s… My family has canned chicken, moose and beef for more than a few generations. The congealed fat makes a great broth/stock. This product is perfect for the beginning for a stir fry or pulled chicken…… And yes it’s perfect for camping.
Seriously, only poor, dumb people eat this shit, there’s no way in hell someone with a few bucks and education would eat this. That’s not even stereotyping, that’s the truth.
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.
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.
BRAVA!!!!
I have never had this, but I am shure it will be worth my while.

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 …
