Although a chicken is quite versatile, this recipe uses a bone-in chicken to produce a crispy, juicy piece of chicken. The original recipe suggested you could use a whole chicken, but I found that it is much easier to remove the bones from the breast section of the chicken. So, the chicken should be cut in half along the backbone. Remove the breast section from the chicken. Then, place the chicken breast side down on a cutting board. Use a knife to cut along the breastbone until you get to the back. Flip the chicken over so the chicken breast is facing you. You can use the knife to cut along the other side of the backbone. Remove the backbone. Then, remove the breast meat from the chicken and cut the meat into pieces.

how to cut up a whole chicken

Preparation is key when you’re cutting up a whole chicken. First, make sure you’re cutting on a counter or table that’s sturdy enough to hold the weight of the chicken and the knife. It should also have a smooth surface and sturdy legs or feet to hold it in place. Next, make sure you have a cutting board that’s large enough to hold the bird. The board should be at least 13 inches wide to hold the bird’s wings. Now, place the chicken down on the board. Remove the top of the bird and cut off its head by cutting behind the ears and on top of the head. Cut out the neck and wing cavities, then cut out the remaining body with the two breast cutlets. Remove the feet, legs, and wings by cutting through the chicken’s skin. If you have a meat cleaver, this is a great tool to use. Be careful not to sever the bone.

Filleting chicken is the process of removing the innards and feathers from a chicken. You can do this by yourself, or you can get someone to do it for you. Either way, it’s important to make sure that you don’t leave any of the innards in the chicken or else it will become inedible when cooked. First, put the chicken on a cutting board. Then, with a sharp knife, cut the skin in two places on the breast side of the chicken. Then, lift the skin and cut the skin between the breast and thigh. Finally, cut the skin on the thigh to remove the meat. Once the chicken has been filleted, you can store it in the refrigerator or cook it at room temperature.

When cutting the chicken, make sure to cut along the flat side of the bird, and where there are no bones in the meat. Next, make sure to remove any excess fat. On the ends of the bird, start at the neck and cut down, but don’t cut all the way through. Use your knife to lift up the skin and remove any excess fat that is covering the meat. Finally, remove the skin that is still attached to the breast, and make a small cut around the neck.

how to fillet chicken

For the most part, using the knife to fillet chicken is pretty straight forward. The skin should be separated from the meat by using a sharp knife and moving the blade horizontally, pulling the knife toward you and upward, using a rocking motion. When doing this, try to avoid cutting the skin. When moving to the opposite direction, be sure to cut as close to the meat as possible. This can be hard to do if you’re new to filleting chicken, so practice until you’re able to cut as close to the meat as possible. When you cut the meat from the carcass, do so carefully. When you start to see a little bit of fat in the meat, stop cutting. Take your knife and grab the tip of the meat, pulling it towards your body. This is called the “knot”. Then, when you reach the tip of the knot, stop cutting and pull off the remaining meat. You may need to make a few passes over the knot to be sure it’s off.
