  • Start by cutting the wings. To cut them, look for the joints of the bones; you can find them by moving the wing (back and forth). Once identified, cut at the joint. For the second wing, repeat the same procedure.
  • To cut the legs, start by cutting the skin. Then, look for the joints of the bones or bend the legs backward to make the bones in the extremities more visible; cut at the joint and remove the leg along with the thigh. Rotate the chicken to a comfortable position. Repeat the procedure with the other leg.
  • To separate the leg from the thigh, remove the skin (pulling toward one end). Look for the joint of the bones, take the knife, and cut (without needing much force) separating the thigh from the leg; repeat the procedure with the other piece.
  • To cut the breast, remove the remaining skin from the chicken. You need to locate the breastbone; this is the bone that divides the breast. Make an incision between the breast and the breastbone. Cut as close to the breastbone as possible to maximize meat yield. Repeat the procedure with the other breast.
  • Finally, separate the breastbone from the carcass and set aside.
