Do you find yourself puzzled about how to cut up a whole chicken after buying it? Are you frustrated because, even though you cut it up however you can manage, the chicken pieces end up messy and scattered all over the cutting board?
Try using the chicken-cutting method shown below. It will save you time, give you more chicken pieces for cooking dishes, and you can also use the chicken bones to make chicken stock.
First, place the whole chicken breast-side up on the cutting board.
Then, open up the cavity from the belly and remove the internal parts.
Next, cut off the two chicken legs and the two chicken wings.
What remains will be the chicken body with the two breast pieces still joined together. Before cutting the two breast halves apart, first remove the chicken skin. Then split the two breast halves right down the middle.
Now everything is ready to cook, whether for a chicken soup or for a dish.
Once you know this systematic cutting method, you'll be able to cut up a whole chicken within seconds whenever you buy one.
