How to Debone a Whole Chicken

Posted on | December 11, 2008 | No Comments

I discovered a fabulous site this morning that provides expert advice on a variety of topics: Expert Village.

The site’s library of cooking techniques is quite good.

As it’s often difficult to read about cooking techniques, I hope this visual description of a basic, but often intimidating, topic would be useful to you.

In these tough economic times, you have to save money where you’re able. Buying whole chickens, and then de-boning and cooking or freezing at home will most certainly save you money. As you’ll see in this video, it takes about five minutes. Probably about the same time it takes to unwrap separated chicken pieces, wash and re-bag. Plus, you’re helping the environment by not immediately discarding that Styrofoam and plastic wrap.

In the next few days, I’ll add a recipe that uses a fully broken down chicken. Next week, I hope to share with you a great recipe for butterflying a chicken breast, and then stuffing it. Works easily as well with Turkey and saves you tons of mess usually accompanying the carving process.

In any case, enjoy the video, brought to you by Lori Schneider of Figs Catering in Austin, Texas.
