KNIFE SKILLS:
How to Break Down a
Chicken
If there’s one knife skill that can save you money and
make you look cool at the same time, it’s breaking down a
chicken.Consider that boneless breasts often cost around three
times more per pound than a whole chicken does.
For the same price as a two-pack of breasts, you can
buy a whole chicken, which comes with those same
breasts, plus two legs and a back. And, wait for it—if
you’re really lucky, you’ll get a free liver, heart, and
gizzard thrown in to sweeten the deal! Of course, if you
don’t know how to break down the chicken, this is not too
useful. But just follow the pictures, here and you’ll be
breaking down chickens like the pros.
