| How To Carve A Whole Chicken |
| Step 1 Remove The Legs Place the chicken breast side up on a solid cutting board. Pull one leg away from the body and cut through the skin between the body and both sides of the thigh. Bend the whole leg firmly away from the body until the ball of the thighbone pops from the hip socket. Cut between the ball and the socket to seperate the leg. Repeat with the other leg. |
 |
| Step 2 Divide The Legs Place the chicken leg side down on the cutting board. Cut down firmly through the joint between the drumstick and the thigh. Repeat with other leg. |
 |
| Step 3 Remove The Wings With the chicken on it's back, remove wing by cutting inside the wing just over the joint. Pull the wing away from the body and cut down through the skin and the joint. Repeat with other wing. |
 |
| Step 4 Cut The Carcuss In Half Cut through the cavity of the bird from the tail end and slice through the thin area around the shoulder joint. Cut parallel to the backbone and slice the bones of the rib cage. Repeat on the opposite side of the backbone. |
 |
| Step 5 Remove The Breast Pull apart the breast and the back. Cut down through the shoulder bones to detach the breast from the back. Cut the back into two pieces by cutting across the backbone where the ribs end. |
 |
| Step 6 Cut The Breast In Half To cut the breast in half, use a strong, steady pressure and cut downward along the lenght of the breastbone to seperate the breast into two pieces. You may leave the breast whole if your receipe requires it. |
