Super Quick Video Tips: How to Break Down a Chicken for Parts

Can you guys post the same with Roasted Chicken? :) While it's still hot and you need to carve quickly for service.

using the shears makes this super simple.  you can do the same with your knife, but shears are way easier....

Los Pollos Hermanos

Worked like a charm! Dang! Great video!

What a weird method, you are left with a breast full of bones

the part i'm having trouble with is the rib bone in the breast/tenderloin area. the rest is easy but that rib bone on the breast removal is time consuming

No pulley bone which is the best part of the chicken. Thumbs down

What’s it called when you cut vertical / slightly diagonal lines into the chicken -let’s say on a breast or whole chicken leg so it cooks through or cooks faster?

Excellent

The only problem is watching (and pausing) the video while my hands are covered in raw chicken

Thank you so much for this. I just successfully cut up my chicken into pieces! 😁 It's now currently sat in the fridge seasoned with salt ready to be fried up in 24 hours time

How come my Mama got ten +pieces from one chicken, and these "chefs" only get eight. Did chickens get smaller?

Thank you for the video - I'm a college student, and buying + breaking down a whole chicken is a lot cheaper than buying a pack of breasts or anything else

Excellent video, thumbs up

👍🥂

Very helpful. Thanks

...relax...

This is a very useful video but in the kitchens it’s proper to cut the breasts without the bone. This video is for amateurs.

With more experience you’ll be a le to cut the along the breast line (and leave the partial wing tip for a supreme cut) and keep the carcass intact (the breast line bone intact with the back bone). You’ll have a boneless breast, chicken breasts, and thighs. If you’re not eating the wings you can add those to the pot to make poulet (a thick gelatinous base) made from chicken carcasses and the wings.

Thabk you for not making a 10 minute introduction outlying the chicken's social security benefits before actually cutting the bird

Using the method of leaving the breasts on the ribs, you lose the tenders.

Thanks, I did need it super quick. I got the legs out. I will watch the rest next meal.

Slay ma'am🫤

Great vid. I would say to halve the breast pieces for more even sized pieces to ensure an even cook, especially when frying.

love it! To the point, quick

I did it! This was so intimidating going into it but in the end this video made it really easy

Keep it simple. ❤.

Just a reminder: you can set the video to loop in case you want to watch the video while you process the chicken

A great video

This is the greatest video near this topic of all time. Every other video is 10min or longer. Fantastic work.
