How To Cut Up a Chicken

[blueppl3]

How do you cut a live one



[Flamestar1989]

@blueppl3 lmao, same method!

[leopluridean]

4-6 people? lol, my bro and I usually split a roaster. 

[Tinkeralch1]

Thank you so much for this informative vid!

[MrTacobellman]

Your only flaw is the opinion that FAT IS SO BAD!! MUST GET RID OF IT!! I cook chicken quite often and the fat is a very good part of the chicken and brings alot of flavour to the many food dishes I prepare. Cuban dishes, fried chicken slightly breaded, soups, ect. I alway leave the fat! After the dish is done (especially soups) I may pick out fat OR EAT JUST EAT IT! YUM YUM!

Bon Appetit

Very helpful thanks!!!

Awesome demonstration!! Thank you so much! I am attempting to make "cinnamon chicken" and it needs to be cut up and I have never done it before and after watching your video, I can do it! Thanks again...Also it was good to remind people to sterilize the work space. I don't own a restaurant so I only have one sink and I prepare my meat in my sink and nobody has ever gotten ill or died! ha ha If you don't know how to clean your workspace, you need to learn people. Thank you again for your help!

in restaurant kitchens you would have a seperate sink for pot wash and food prep, you clearly dont have 2 sinks so STOP PUTTING YOUR FOOD WERE YOU WASH YOUR DISHES!

and do you know how much bacteria grows on clothes and sponges that get used to was dishes?

you woman are crazy!

[UDavidT]

@TheSarahbellatrix

unless your eating raw meat then its okay as long as you rinse it later.

[TheSarahbellatrix]

OMG there are so many health and safey issues with what youve just done.

never hold anything upright while your cutting it,

otherwise whats the point in having a chopping board?!

you dont need to rinse chicken at all, if its good quality meat it'll be odour free, firm and smooth, if its slimy or something then its off (i can think of no other reason why you would insist on rinsing it.

there are plenty of proper videos on youtube that tell you how to cut a chicken properly, check them out!

[mtb42day]

@TheSarahbellatrix < "never hold anything upright while your cutting it," is the only thing worth reading from your comment. Topic is cutting a whole chicken and not health and safety. YET, I'll agree with you and others of the cutting style.

[TheSarahbellatrix]

@mtb42day

yeah, fair enough thats the tittle of the video but you should take health and safety into account when your cooking at home too, fair enough your not guna have an EHO come into your home but you dont want to give yourself food poisoning or wreck the quality of your food do you...

[MOTS411]

Stop with the rinsing and the cutting the fat off...fat is essential for our body, it's not evil like the government would have you think it is with all their nonsense, while they want you to eat GMO cottonseed and canola oil!!! And if you need to do all this "rinsing" and disinfecting you are eating the WRONG chicken. Try to find some local free range chicken, don't eat that tyson crap grown in a factory. BLEH. Off to cut up my organic chicken and LEAVE the skin on! HA!

[febblez]

Is this woman stupid, honestly guys always have ur knife facing the bored and cut away from you.

Idiotic woman

[nimods36]

very helpful video. thanks a lot.

[crazyandlazy07]

Thats not the way to cut a chicken... theres a different way where you cut the wing tips, the thighs, the chicken breast, and take out the wish bone... ilearned it from servsafe... its way easier

[NataliaAccordion]

Great! Thank you for showing us how to do this! I never managed to cut a chicken before- properly anyway! Very good explanation! Thanks again.

[Namasch]

Thank you so much! This video was extremely helpful.

[Igotmyvanson20]

dam look at them triceps lol

[jenko701]

Never put food in the sinc, Nasty

[byen8]

this is gruesome

[PsYk1K5]

Lol the skin is the best part. Should try at least keeping some of it on, if not all.

[WARFOX101]

Thank you for this vid, since my wife went back to school i have been making alot of the dinners Thank you again you saved me.

[robertlewis2002]

good man.

[cbsctomh]

Use the paper towel to remove leg skin, it'smuch more sanitary : )

[TimeOutGirls]

This short video was very helpful.

[sybilmoonbeam]

Thanks! The tip with the dish rag looks like it will be so useful. Pulling the skin off with your bare hands is so hard!

[th016827]

thanks mom jr. This video helped me so much!

[md991free]

Thanks for the valuable information.

[nicksmithcutcoemail1]

Good Knives! Cutco Baby =]

I will be posting videos all about the knives mom jr uses. Since I sell and sharpen cutco to get my way through college ha ha.

[oldrustycars]

I'm going to try this tonight. I never did very good cutting chicken, but a serrated knife may be where I went wrong. My butcher shop here will take a whole chicken in back and cut it and wrap it for me in about 2 minutes.

[gravypits]

Thank you for your video. I have used it as a reference a couple times now. :)

[JulieT026]

Thank you Mom jr! I am 51 years old and still am not comfortable cutting up chicken!! believe it or not, I have my husband do it. But ... you are right, buying a whole chicken is so much more economical. So, I decided to finally learn for myself how to cut up a chicken! Your instructions & tip (using a cloth to grab the skin off of the legs!!) were awesome!!! Thanks :-)

[lolloxor]

Pretty good instruction but she speaks annoyingly slow.

[comidaparaperro]

Ty, i will never forget now!

[iloveshawnu]

wow you make it look so easy! I have hard time cutting chicken, I'm going to try it your way, thank you!

[malicfayt]

thank you!

[okiefilm]

mom jr rocks!

[foxtrottzulumilkshak]

great video!! thank you

[bela262]

What a great video - I've tried to cut up a chicken a couple of times and never get it quite right! Now I'm buying free range I have to buy whole chickens as breast is more expensive than a whole chicken for some reason

[ReverendKalunda]

the chicken breasts

[rladso]

This is awesome!

[psarontoufekas13]

The video is very good.

But the easiest way is to say to the bucher u buy this chicken to cut it also....

[summerlanfranco]

good job. We just watched your video in our Nutrition class. Kudos you

[TheCainsRock]

This is extremely helpful and you make it look soooooo easy. Thank you for such a wonderful presentation. Was nice to see the precautions you were taking in personal safety such as using a very sharp knife and always cutting away from yourself.

[wormsquish]

First of all, I wouldn't put my freshly cut up pieces of bird in the sink. Second, I wouldn't use a dishrag to pull off skin.

[jamimom]

This was a very good video, the only thing I would change is to use a paper towel to remove skin from chicken legs, not a wash cloth, then you can throw it away. Also, you can pull the skin off a partially frozen leg easier than a thawed one.

[LSecret]

Thank you!

God bless! this is very helpful.

[Barbarainnc]

I would have put the cut chicken in a bowl, instead of putting it in your sink!!! You can never get a sink clean enough to put food in it. Think of the bacteria and germs!!

[sklikizos]

Buying a fresh organic hen, maybe from a farmer means no thawing (and no microwave!) and you save over buying precut. I know not everyone can afford it, but its worth it.

If you are in fact buying frozen, don't forget to pull out any bits they've packed inside to boost the weight/cost ;) (another reason a fresh bird is better)

Instead of chopping the breasts in half, remove them whole by following the breast bone with a good knife. You can halve them later if necessary.

Hope this helps.

[rootroof]

OK, you make this look so easy!! Thank you. I'm going to try this with heavy duty kitchen scissors. Wish me luck!

[PaulyCracker]

Momma your the best! Wished I had found this before I had to do this today.

Thank you VERY much as I love to cook!

[vevsterfilms]

I wish I had watched this video before I attempted to cut a very pricey organic chicken.... Next time!

Thanks for a great video. You made it look easy and it IS all in the technique!!!
