How to Butcher a Chicken: 10-Piece Country Cut

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 9 гру 2023
  • Chef Eric Huang demonstrates how to break down a whole chicken for frying, Southern-style. Called “country-cut” chicken, this technique produces 10 pieces of chicken (2 wings, 2 legs, 2 thighs, and 4 bone-in breast pieces), with a focus on preserving the integrity of the skin, particularly the skin on the breast pieces. It’s a prime example of how much there is to learn from a professional who’s spent tons of time thinking about and tweaking simple processes to produce the best and most consistent product possible. #kitchentechnique #cutawholechicken #chickenbutchery

    Thank you very much for this, trying to get better at breaking down whole chickens, and have never seen any videos keeping bone in the breast portion and wanted to learn how to do this properly for food prep. Much appreciated 🙏

    Absolute perfect presentation. Started Cooking as A Pro, back in the Early 1980's and my Great White Whale is great Fried Chicken at home. Your technique demonstrates what KFC folk call the " Keel Cut" to even out the sizes of all 10 pieces of Chicken. Really Well Done Chef!

      That style of knife is called a kiritsuke, although I can't see any markings on it that would indicate who made the knife

    Eric, which brand of kiritsuke did you use? I'm surprised to see them cutting through chicken keel bone. I thought the edge might be too delicate.

      It looks like a san-mai bunka with a kurouchi finish. San-mai simply means that is is a laminated knife with a harder core steel in the center, and softer steel cladding on the outside. Often the core steel (the cutting edge) is made of a carbon steel, while the outer layers are stainless. Bunka is simply the shaper of the blade, which is basically similar to a gyuto (Japanese adaptation of a french style chef knife), but with a reverse tanto tip. Kurouchi refers to the blackened finish of the outer layers of the san-mai construction. Traditionally this was a rough finish which helped hand forged carbon steel resist rusting a bit, but in many contemporary knifes a smoother blackened finish is achieved on a stainless outer layer, more for looks than anything else. As for the brand, I have no idea. If you want to explore these types of lives, or Japanese kitchen cutlery in general, I would recommend japanesechefknives.com (JCK, based in Seki City, Japan), which ships worldwide from Japan, or ChefKnivesToGo.com (based in Madison, Wisconsin). There are other reputable online retailers, and I have heard good things about Korin (based in New York), but the first two are the ones I have experience with. I bought a Makoto (name of maker) short wa-gyuto (where the wa refers to the traditional style of Japanese knife handle) with a similar construction from ChefKnivesToGo, and a couple of Misono carbon mono steel (not laminated) knives from JCK, and all of them have served me well in a professional kitchen for several years.

    How? Go watch Martin Yan for butcher a Chicken.

    • @alexanderlin8437
      @alexanderlin8437 5 місяців тому +1

      Martin Yan, while impressive, often gives a very rushed presentation of how to break down a chicken. Additionally, its relatively sloppy as he tries to demonstrate how to break the chicken down very quickly, rather than elegantly. That might be appropriate for a restaurant setting, but not for most home cooks.
      The presentation here is better, with clearer camera angles and lighting, and with more explanation.
