how do you seal chicken?

Cut into pieces appropriate for the vacuum bags you intend to use, pat dry excessive fluids, then seal as you would any other item.

A live chicken? Well, I don't recommend that. Too many sharp things to poke holes! But if it's just pieces of chicken, then seal it like anything else. Put it in a sealing bag and put the open end in the machine and seal it like normal. The juices that come out will collect in the juice catcher and it will seal the plastic in spite of it.

I put the chicken (usually quarters, half, or individual pieces) in a Weston bag, making sure I have adequate room on top to fold over the bag and clip it with a office clip, or paper clip. I put it in the freezer until it is frozen, then I take it out, take off the paper clip, and seal it with my Weston sealer. It is a lot less messy if the chicken is frozen and the juices cannot run into the sealer. Caution though, make sure the chicken juices do not contaminate the outside of the bag when being assembled, and stand the bag upright in the freezer (so juices do not run out). Hope this helps.

Just make sure you eggs(if you have to rinse bird droppings off of them. Backyard chickens)are completely dry before you put them in the containers with lid on in fridge you can get some molding.

I line the bottom pan with foil over lapping it & crimping on the ends. I then spray the top with pan spray, the vegetable works best, then I put my meat on & broil. It's very hard to clean without the spray.

If the chicken is on the smaller size and not a roasting hen. I found that if you are going to cook a whole chicken,it is best to use foil in the crockpot and seal the bird. I wish my crock pot still worked,but it stopped working after 6 months.

Correct, The food goes directly in the bag. Place oxygen absorber in the top and leave as little room at the top of the bag as possible then seal it.

You need a vacuum sealer. I think any vacuum sealer would work but this is the one I have. http://www.sousvidesupreme.com/Vacuum_Sealers/SousVide_Supreme_Vacuum_Sealer/Product.aspx?ProductID=18&DeptID=4&&&gclid=CKTlha-Gk7sCFUxufgodRiYACQ

It will seal it with no problem, but you will need to put something in, or over the hole like tape, etc as this stuff is very runny out of the can. I cant live without it overall.

This food saver seals the food in special plastic bags and you need to cut the bag from the roll and seal it in the food saver. It is not one of those for plastic wrap or wax paper, etc.

We raise and sell chickens. We've had a few problems with bags coming unsealed but it's usually a pinhole somewhere in the bag and not because of moisture in the bag, or where it was sealed. We do make it a point of wiping the excess moisture from the area that's going to be sealed before we seal it. The chickens that are sealed keep fresh for a very long time. We are very happy with their purchase and do recommend this item.

Make sure you have both ends attached before you put it in the rotisserie. There should be 2 round plates that you hold the chicken with. They should be holding the chicken tight. Also make sure that you mount the chicken sideways and not straight up and down. The picture shows two Cornish hens and not chicken. I put both rods through the chicken, and then attach the removable plate. Set it in the groves of the show time and make sure they are all the way in. It sounds like your chicken wasn't mounted right and you did not have the spit sitting all the way in the grove. You have a very good machine, it just takes a little practice to get the hang of it.

You can marinate in FoodSaver Bags or Canisters; however, the zipper bags do have a vacuum port which may make it difficult for marinating with a lot of liquid. For marinating chicken, we recommend using the FoodSaver Quick 2.25 quart Marinator, BPA-free

The seal was an aluminum foil backed tamper evident seal under the screw on lid. Hope this helps, the product is fresh and quite tasty and I often use it in recipes that call for whole eggs too!

Not necessary to seal at all. I used this as a dining fly during a down pour in the White Mountains...kept dry...ready to perform right out of the box.

There are several ways to seal them. You can buy a thermal sealer designed for the bags, or the most economical way is to use a metal level and an iron. YouTube is a really good resource for this. If you're sealing food don't forget to buy the oxygen absorbers it's amazing how well they work.

Every bag has sealed,has big sealer tape.When I had a foodsaver and sealing something wet and juicy,i would place a paper towel inside the bag at the top before sealing.frozen paper towel hurt's nothing.Good Luck

All the answers so far are right on. One of the thing that I've done with very wet items (like your bloody ground beef and my homemade pasta sauces) is fold a paper towel to fit the width of the bag, and slide it in until it's close to the food. Vacuum the bag, and when the liquid just touches the paper towel, press the Seal button. For soups and sauces, freeze the bags upright with the top part with the towel folded over. When ready to use, cut the bag just under the towel. I've done this for years with no added taste of paper to the food, and no missed spots in the seal :-)

I seal anything with some liquid that could get sucked up in another bag first. I either use a cheap zip-lock bag & push the air out of it, or a regular food storage bag and do the same push the air out and twist it, then put it in the Waring bags & seal it. This keeps the liquids from being vacuumed into the machine, or at least you can see it seeping out & can stop before they start seeping up to the vacuum. I usually get a pretty good seal before that happens. This makes cleaning your resealable bags easier.
