How to Butcher a Chicken

Описание: In this video, I walk through exactly how to break down a whole chicken step by step, so you can do it confidently at home.
If you’ve ever avoided buying whole chickens because it felt too complicated, this will show you how straightforward it actually is - and why it’s one of the smartest ways to save money in the kitchen.

I’ll cover:
How to remove the legs cleanly without hacking at the joints
The easiest way to separate thighs and drumsticks
How to take the breasts off in one clean piece
Where the tenders are (and why people miss them)
How to use the carcass for stock instead of throwing it away
Buying chicken whole is almost always cheaper than buying the parts separately — but the real advantage is understanding how each cut works.
