    1. Rinse the cleaned chicken under running water, cut it into large sections, then chop it into pieces small enough to fit easily through the neck of a jar.
    1. Put the chicken pieces in a deep bowl, add the salt and pepper, and mix well.
    1. Wash the jars with baking soda, then sterilize them however you like — they should end up clean and dry. Into the bottom of each jar drop a small bay leaf, a ring of onion, and an allspice berry.
    1. Pack the chicken into the prepared jars, pressing each piece down firmly — the meat should be as tightly packed as possible. Leave about an inch (2–3 cm) of headspace at the top so there's room for the liquid and fat that render during cooking. Seal the filled jars with lids.
    1. Line the bottom of a large pot with a towel, set the jars inside, and pour in warm water so it comes up level with the chicken. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 6 hours.
    1. When the time is up, take the pot off the heat and leave the jars in the water until fully cooled.
  • You can eat the canned chicken as soon as it cools, or keep it in the fridge until you need it.
  • It comes out really tasty — enjoy!
