Should be called skinning, not butchering, good video, reminds me of rabbits. To ilikealicia, no reason to age the bird, there is so little meat. Now with a bigger bird you may want to hang it but it's all about size and even with a large bird, you are talking about a few days max. So how you store the bird will be more important than if it is hung.

@909Leon its only part one of three videos. the meat prep and all that is in the other two videos.

Do you find skinning it is faster than boiling/plucking? I like the skin myself but not if there are pin feathers left.

@whisperkodiak it is way faster and cleaner than plucking. we dont fry much so we just skin the basterds.

Why would you want to skin it?? Chicken skin is one of the BEST parts!

[melvinseatsoup]

@spazchicken1 plucking sucks!! make you a big pot of stew and leave the skin on, then you tell me why i skin the basterds.

sure, if doing this do be an asshole, then he'd deserve the same. but, if you read/watch, he's doing it to feed his fam -- no diff than you fruits at KFC getting the kill w/o the guilt. again, i couldn't be more "bleeding heart" than the majority, but i understand the utility of doing it yourself. people wholeheartedly rebuffing just need to take a step back. as a medical practitioner (and, no, not a nurse) i can guarantee a vegetarian diet cannot satisfactorily sustain life. good hunting!!

You need a sharper knife, so that you can kill the chicken with one cut without hurting it. A German study showed that this is the most humane way to kill any animal, as there is an immediate fall in blood pressure to the brain leading to immediate unconsciousness. You only want to cut the jugular veins and wind pipe, and not sever the whole head, that way the heart will keep on pumping the blood out of the muscles which will make for a much healthier and more tender meat.

@lamoabird These guys are obviously just trying to feel macho, you know, it's just soooooooo tough to tie an animal that is 1/20 of your size upside down, an animal that would never defend itself and would be incapable of doing so, and then rip its head off with a butter knife... On top of that, he did not even cut (or like I said before, rip) in the right place, you're supposed to cut right below the beak, not in the middle of its neck. Then he nearly stabs his friend...

[lamoabird]

@JaneAndDracoAndTheo I so agree! I prefer videos were people don't spit in the plate that feeds them! Sorry, Dude! I didn't like you calling the chickens bastards!

[melvinvswaldo]

I like how you almost stabbed your friend in the face a couple times.
