Good Foods, Good Life: How to cut a whole chicken

So what should you do when sidelined by injury and bored? Start a new project of course. Money is tight and I still want to eat well. In addition all the veggies and good meats needed to eat low carb are expensive. So how to save money and still eat well? Cook like our grandmothers cooked. Whole foods, from scratch using easy techniques. In this episode I show you how to cut up a whole chicken. In the next several episodes I will show various chicken recipes from several cultures.

This is my first attempt, the camera is... okay but the editing software is horrid. Once I get the content and basics down I will work to improve the quality but I welcome any tips or ideas you may have for me.

My goal for each set of videos is to explore a technique or recipe and then show you many variations so you don't just learn recipes but you learn to cook from the bottom on up.

its is a great video....

you just got ur knife wrong...

thats not a chef knife it is called a santoku because of the cut groves on the blade for air pockets for food not to stick to the blade

Haha, I love that knife but I have so many I don't even try to keep pthem straight lol. I actually am looking for a good chefs knife w/o the air pockets but haven't found one I really like yet.

WOW! This is great I'm a freshman at a tech school an I take culinary this is what we are going to have a test on this in 2 weeks.

Good luck! I would say, go get a bunch of the cheapest chickens you can and PRACTICE! Every time I do this I get better; you are going to ace that test. Also, make sure which cuts you will be tested on, there are several regional different ways to segment a chicken.
