And if you're really lucky, you'll get a free liver, heart, and gizzard thrown in to sweeten the deal! Here, we show you the different techniques on breaking down a whole chicken so you can save all sorts of time and money in your weeknight dinner routine, and impress your friends while you're at it!

This is the most helpful explanation I have watched about how to break down a chicken. The pointers, the perspective. I watched 6 and this is the only one I could follow. Thank you
Thankyou as a burned out chef, who know longer has the confidence to do things like this after years of abuse in high end kitchens, with a massive fear of doing things wrong😕 I will keep this video saved, for whenever I try to breakdown my confidence issue's
lol go to therapy dude. why did you stay in an abusive job for so long?

I've been raising chickens on my homestead for a few years now. I'm getting ready to dispatch some birds this morning and wanted to review ways to break down a chicken. Your video was very good as it gave so many alternative approaches in just a few minutes of watching.
Spatchcocking is really good, especially for even and quicker cooking, but keep in mind that some bones might splinter and come out through the skin (hurting your hand) and be careful when you're eating because bone splinters are sharp. Also I've tried this method a lot and it works well but remember to keep the meat hydrated- since it doesn't have the cavity, it can't really trap moisture
Excellent sync of the music and the hip popping
Huh. I was waiting & heard it.
FINALLY!!! Best tutorial on how to break down a chicken on all of UA-cam
Very informative and I like how you line out things on the chicken, so we can see everything. Thank you!
“Crush the chicken like your enemies” 😆
I came here because of an article, that I was reading online. The article was discussing the oyster of a chicken. I had to see what they were speaking of. I don't recall hearing about that part of the chicken before.
This was great! Thank you!
Awesome vid!! I appreciate you!
Good video, BUT, did not find it as easy to do as you make it look.
Super cool video production, love the style
love the music
All educational no fluff right to it awesome video.
Thanks, very useful!
Thanks for sharing
Excellent video! Very well presented and easy to follow, thank you!
Took me like 45 minutes to do tbis and clean up, mever again
KFC has a “9 piece” breakdown of a chicken. Is it the pointed part of the breast pair cut off before splitting the breasts in two? Great video! Thanks
New subscriber😊. Your knife skills got me😃
Thx
Nice video. I didn't know you could do more than the 8 pieces.
Ain't nobody got all that. All I have is one knife.
I spatchcocked a turkey last year with kitchen scissors and oh my God that hurt my hands, make sure you have real heavy duty poultry shears to do a big bird
love the cut but i'd probably separate the wings at home.
Hope I can cut up the first part. Here goes!
I love seriouseaatss
Honestly I’m here because chicken is $4 a lb in Indiana and I can’t afford that whole chicken here I come but my family loves boneless have to save the bone in for cooking other dishes
Anyone know why they are called "airline breasts"?
Fact: historically, you are to make your wish prior to breaking the wishbone. It’s bad luck if you break the wishbone before making a wish.
Well done! (not the chicken, I cook that to 150º) ;D
Great video, with wonderfully demonstrated techniques. What brand of honesuki is that? Been thinking of picking one of hose up, and wondering if you have any recommendations. And why are you using that while linking to a chef knife, as the "best knife to use for this technique?” Kind of funny. Do agree on your pick for the best poultry shears, bought them awhile ago, probably on your recommendation, and I love them. I even like them better than my regular kitchen shears just for opening the little packets of oils, seasonings, kecap mani, etc, for my instant noodle addiction.
WHY NOT 10 PIECES ?
Mana kimianya?
The japanese yakitori style is better and easier, quicker
Complete but way too fast and unexplicative for begginer like me
Nice skill.. But why are your chicken so hairy....
stopped on the fiddling around the wing)))) thanks but no thanks
game theory fnaf
works for raccoons too
Good video but the music was terrible.

@@adriano.mp3ong
Jacques Pepin.... That's is all
That's who I was thinking about the whole time.
Patrick Carroll who cares
Horrible video for learning how to cut up a chicken. Some actual instruction would be nice. If someone is learning, they can't be cutting the chicken and watching the video at the same time. I can listen though while seeing what is being explained
All you have to do is watch the video and break down the chicken at different times....
it's not rocket science dude. really? you can't watch a part on your phone in the kitchen and do that cut, then watch next section of cut and do the cut and repeat?
So many unnecessary steps
you could just watch Quang Tran explain it in 2 mins
That's too quick for the average student. In the marketplace of ideas, this video has wide appeal.
Can you link to Quang's video?
would love to find a new youtuber to follow!
