How to Quickly and Easily *Cut Up a Whole Chicken*

[rikkrosss]

I cant believe he left the oysters on the carcass. smh....

[MFGreth]

This is actually a very accurate video, however, as a culinarian in training, two immediate mistakes can be said.The type of knife he is using for the fabrication is not the proper one. Use a correct sized boning knife. Secondly, he places his fingers on the metal while cutting. This can cause accidents and, ultimately injury... trust me on that one. Great video though.

[DamarisAz]

what about all that weird stuff I hear you need to pull out?

[ItalicVisions]

Is this about chicken fat. or your fat?

[cakequeen2011]

as a student in culinary school, you got the temperature danger zone wrong. it is 41-135. just an fyi.

[BronzeGangsta]

the legs walketh forward lol

[PresAndrewJackson]

What i don't get is how he cuts through all the bone stuff. When i cut a chicken its a goddamn massacre.

[john1989100]

thanks for showing me the but. thats exactly why i put this video on to find out where in hell was the chickens BUT.

[GeneralBobi]

why im l00000000000king that.........?

[BrandonDCS]

umm holy shit that looks like my kitchen O.o

[ruok9c]

That's great, however, what if I want to keep the bone in the breasts? How would you cut it?

[Shirleydatol]

talking too mcuh

[sugaratic]

Not only cheaper but safer sanitation wise. There are some butcher men with disgusting habits and if it carries onto their knife/work area, your food is more likely to be contaminated the more it's touched by other people.

I have a question: Can you show us a video of where to find the 'oyster' i believe its called, hidden in one of the bones.

[joshua61991]

@sugaratic The oyster is found near the top of the thigh, it is in a socket. to get it out you simply take a paring knife and gently scrape it out (you can also scoop it out with your finger after you start cutting with the knife).

[sugaratic]

@joshua61991 Thanks i'll look for that next time.

[broodm]

great video

[abrighty]

thanks! v. helpful...

[MrLacking]

Why is he using a white board.

[xxXxSiLeNcExXxx]

@MrLacking He must be crazy.

[jun2san]

WTF?! What does chicken breasts have to do with invading another country? Is this subliminal propaganda?

[jahpinner]

Thanks Derek! Awesome video. Walks like this, talks like this. :)

[3abo0or]

I loved that video, very helpful

It is funny though how you were talking about safety and then your finger appears to be injured, what a coincidence :)

[3abo0or]

@2:24

[marrrkeeee]

Why can't u just put the chicken in separate freezer bags and THEN freeze them?

[dmoonme]

what's this about invading another country? What have we ever gained from that? Maybe invade the state of Georgia, Alabama, or Petaluma California! Name a country that has ANYTHING we don't already have. What a ridiculous statement! I'll bet he's sorry he ever said that, (I can only hope).

[loerchner]

this video is good, for more fun check out "dead stuff with Dave" right here on you tube.

[zezain]

Thanks alot for the tips of cutting...and also for freezing.

[golfstylesinc]

I am new to cooking and I watched 5 other chefs and cooks explain how to cut up a chicken on youtube- and yours is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!! Thank you for explaining this for a novice cook like me.

My wife who is a great cook loved how simple you made this and your idea on how to freeze individual pieces!! THANKS! THANKS! THANKS!

[ediboyzee]

[lorena9021074]

Duh, everybody has a diff. technique for breaking down chicken. Not sure wich one to use.

[djhams]

Too much work. I say lets invade another country! :P

[dmoonme]

@djhams your as smart as that a**hole who said it.

[caballis1988]

I so luv eating chicken, brb

[miketheburn]

Excellent thank you so much! Keep em coming!!! =D

[drastic209562]

Hey! How about showing us how to make chicken stock from scratch.

[coyo7e]

Uhh, take the bones, toss em in a pot, throw in w/e else you want (onions, ceggies, bay leaf, whatever else you like), and turn the heat to simmer for a couple hours. Drain off the solids when it's done, and boom, you have stock. ;)

[thatcanberecycled]

Yeah, except you need ALOT of bones. If you use just one carcass, you're going to have weak stock. You also have to skim it continually to remove impurities during the cooking process.

[chyrd]

@thatcanberecycled If you start you stock in cold water, you will have less scum to remove... give it a try.

[dmoonme]

@coyo7e and whatever else and whatever else and whatever else
