Go buy a coupla chickens and try deboning them first. It's not that hard. First get yourself a nice sharp paring knife for cutting through joints and an older paring knife for scraping meat off the bones.
First cut down each side of the wishbone, cut through the wing joint, and pull it out. You gotta crack the wishbone from the breastbone. Pull the meat off the ribcage like you're taking off a sock until you get to the thigh joint. Cut through the thigh joint. Start scraping the meat off the thing joint until you get to the leg. Cut through that and do the same. Keep going until you pull the legbone out from the inside. There ya go. It's all done.
The birds are all the same with minor differences. If you're brave, you can do quail-game hen-chicken-duck-turkey! Happy butchering! |
