Seasoned canned chicken

Last week I boned and cut into fist size pieces a couple of chickens. I weighed out 2.25 pounds each in three portions and seasoned them as I would for fresh sausage. Medium hot Italian, Breakfast, and Polish. I packed them into zipper bags and refrigerated them for a several days. Yesterday I roasted them at 350°F for one hour and let them cool. Tasting straight from the pan they were close to seeming over spiced. I packed them into canning jars and added stock and processed them in a pressure canner. Of the twelve half pints three didn't seal. This was at first disappointing and then turned into good news because it permitted another tasting. The taste sample was the medium hot Italian and Nancy had pronounced it as TOO spicy from the pan but from the jar she called it delicious.
We like canned chicken for use at home and on the boat because it is versatile and is good hot or cold.
