Mastering Knife Skills - Carving a Chicken

[H0tkebab]

As far as everyone saying 'I can carve a chicken in this much time', thats not the point of the video. He's demonstrating for the average 'Joe' and 'Jane', aka the home cook or aspiring chefs the correct technique for carving a chicken. Give the colonel some slack.

Beautiful

seriously, i can do that without a fork a still retain more meat on the breast than this guy. somtimes a carving knife is usefull. but with my 8 inch chefs knife i find its allot easier. and the fork really? ive never used one.

[Eclipse6491]

Oh my god, colonel! i've been a fan of your chickens for a long time!

[chefmiketucker]

Look at the way this professional is holding his knife and prodding the poor chicken. My favorite part is when he uses his dull blade to move the bird. Poor yield on the breasts and you hacked the skin. You are a joke

Whaddaya know! The colonel is still alive!!

OK, if you like your chicken stone cold, and as others before me have said "what about the wishbone?"

[didak15]

menudo paco... a este me lo meo yo y cualquiera que sea cocinero de verdad...

[handsongourmet]

To clarify- I'm talking about the big chunk of meat that is attached to the wishbone. If not removed prior to carving then the meat stays on the body of the chicken and does not come off as part of the breast when removing.

[handsongourmet]

Master, I stumbled upon your site and saw the video. I hope it doesn't bother you that I pointed the wishbone out. As you know, if not removed, it will attach itself to the body of the chicken and not come off when you are removing breast.

Please know that I like your videos and channel. My comment is not meant to be snarky, simply an observation. Keep on truckin!

[rave208]

thats some sharp knife :X

[handsongourmet]

you never talked about the wish bone and how it can be cumbersome when taking the breast meat off.

[75SilentWarrior]

@handsongourmet Why would you look for a video about carving a chicken if you know how?

[lurklingX]

i think it's great that you put these videos up! now after seeing them, i am determined to grab myself a copy of the book as soon as $ provides, but most of all i can't wait to see the entire dvd! (i didn't even know about its existence until now.)

love the instructor! i'd want to be in his classes. style and technique and overall presence makes me feel inspired! <3

[robloeffler]
