A very Beginner’s guide to breaking down a whole chicken.
This one’s for first timers or people who’ve put off breaking down whole chickens because it seems difficult.
I used shallow quick cuts to demonstrate how you should go about breaking it down if you’re still figuring out where everything is in the chicken. If you take long strokes without knowing where things are, you’ll just cut deeply into the meat and mess up the cuts.
There’s no need to go fast. Take your time, learn the joints, the bones, the flesh. Once you understand the anatomy of the chicken, it’ll be a breeze. Hope this videos helps even slightly! Good luck!
I’ll make another video with a top down vantage point in the future showing how I personally break my chickens down!
If you’re a veteran or know what you’re doing, you don’t need this video haha. You already know to use precise, long strokes with intention.
