Wow I'm trying to cut chicken for the first time today, bumped into this video n I couldn't be happier. She so direct

I've been cutting up chickens since my early 20's. I had my method (based on things my mother had told me over the phone). It saved me a ton of money, getting whole chickens on sale and cutting them up. Let's just say I wouldn't show my method online! Ms. Clark makes it simple and her explanation is perfect. I cut up three chickens using this method and it got easier and better each time. Thanks for the perfect display of how to do it, as well explaining things so clearly so that I won't have to check back next time I do this. A+

This video is SO helpful! I have tried a couple times to cut up a whole chicken & always ended up with a mess because I couldn’t understand the steps or landmarks on the bird. This woman is a fabulous teacher! I was successful so quickly!

I use a scary looking breaking knife. But I do use shears to cut out the breastbone. I also freeze my bones, any bones. I throw them all in a bag. Often I use any bones, pork ribs, beef ribs, chicken bones-using the same veggies and some fresh herbs in my pressure cooker. Makes a great stock.

So well explained. I followed it today for the first time and was able to get perfect pieces like yours. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this!!!!! I was so helpless in the kitchen, and this video is completely informative, clear and dummy-proof. Thanks so much. Xxx

Incredibly helpful video, Melissa!! Thank you so much! I have never cut up a chicken before in my life, but now I will never buy those really expensive chicken parts separately! Thanks again!!

Thank you SO much , for such a lucid, un-gushy, intelligent video. I'm 61 and have never had the courage to cut up a raw chicken properly. But, in order to try and save money, I thought I should try, and your video has taught me, in just 3 minutes! Now I have a new skill in my culinary life! THANK YOU!

First time cutting up a raw chicken, like a Boss with this video. It won't be intimidating anymore! Saving money!

IMO this is by far the best technique I have come across to cutting up a whole chicken. Very easy and less waste. Just make sure you have a sharp knife and the kitchen shears really come in handy.

Thanks for these videos, a community service and in hard financial times being able to use a whole chicken is very useful. I am making dukka chicken and ratatouille with the thighs, a chicken vegetable and bean soup with the breasts, and into the freezer are the legs and wings to accumulate for other meals. I am slow cooking my stock to get lots of flavour. The cat enjoyed the little scraps I offered her, and the kitchen smells happy with all the food being cooked.

I'm 62 and have always wanted to learn how to cut up a chicken, i tried once before youtube along time ago and gave up, and now this video was perfect, I will be having chicken now more often, like my Mom used to make on Sundays, whole chicken cut up and can enjoy also chicken stock. when we get older, it's so nice to have time to cook and eat foods that remind you of growing up.

Thank u for sharing this technique. I kinda give up buying whole chicken because I ended up murdering the chicken. Lol. Now I gain knowledge on how to properly cut the chicken.

I honestly enjoy cutting up a whole chicken. It's just exciting having many different parts to find recipes to cook with. I also like variety in my meals. One meal I'd be having a personal serving of fried wings, then general tso's chicken breasts the next, then a nice helping of Mediterranean chicken thighs! Edit: oh, and the backbone I would steam and debone the meat to give to my dog as a topping to his kibbles.

Thank you!!!!! Your video was very informative and helped me to successfully cut a whole chicken CORRECTLY. Other ppls videos fall short of yours. Thank you again. I don’t think I’ll every buy any other chicken but whole chicken from now on.

THANK YOU SO MUCH even if I am 5 years too late. LOL LOL GREAT VIDEO, you are in my video library.

Your video really helped me so much and made my first time to cut whole chicken so easy. Am happy because I can now be more helpful to my wife as she cooks

Great video. You made it look easy

Thank you for this video! I watch it every time I need to cut my chicken. You made it so easy to follow along!

Thank you! Super helpful video. I got my wife to buy us a whole free range Chicken from the community farmers market and I remember my mom showing me how to cut a whole chicken years ago. So I followed along and did pretty well. :)

In professional kitchens, we use just a boning knife to cut the whole chicken. One rule of thumb: you should never have to cut through bone when cutting up a chicken. This is safer as is reduces the risk of having shards of bone in your meat. Also, you left out the oysters! It's the most tender and prized part of the chicken. You should always cut the leg out keeping the oyster intact.

Also, your voice was very easy to listen to throughout the video. Thank you so much for a great tutorial!
