  1. Terrible how-to video. When you're doing these instructional videos, keep a continuous shot that shows every movement and cut…moving around between shots confuses viewers on the parts of the chicken and what you're cutting…take your time, keep one shot, and then at the end you can go back and show other shots

  2. Finally I can cut up a whole chicken. Thank you for the crystal clear explanation and easy to follow tutorial. This save my time (I don't have to wait because I depend on others to cut).

  3. I'm 48 and today was my first time cutting up a whole chicken… I use to depend on my granny and momma for questions like this…they r both gone now and for the longest time I could buy one cut up in store…not any more….but u made it super simple and so less intimidating…thank you so much

  4. This is an awesome video.
    She's easy to understand, gets to business quickly and explains it all step-by-step. I'm so glad I found this video.
    Now I'm Subscribed because obviously this gal knows what she's doing!!

  5. Interesting to see how this is done on a small scale. We just cut them the fastest way possible at work.
    Knuckles off, wings off, bird goes on a cone, legs of then breast off.

  6. Thanks for these videos, a community service and in hard financial times being able to use a whole chicken is very useful. I am making dukka chicken and ratatouille with the thighs, a chicken vegetable and bean soup with the breasts, and into the freezer are the legs and wings to accumulate for other meals. I am slow cooking my stock to get lots of flavour. The cat enjoyed the little scraps I offered her, and the kitchen smells happy with all the food being cooked.

  7. Living alone and finding a whole chicken (no butcher in area) I tried cutting it once and it was not easy for me, although I followed this procedure as it is and I could find the right joints but I had to remove the skin as well so it took me good 10- 15 minutes and I was a mess! my hands were greased and I had to clean my knife+ hands every 1 or 2 minutes to make a new (non-slippery) cut. I know I know, people will say you should have pat dry the chicken using paper towels but no…… Fresh chicken has a lot of fats and grease never ends so at the end it was such a tragic experience and left a bad remark on my memory (almost equivalent to post event trauma) that I now buy pre sliced parts (wings, drumstick, thigh/ breast meat) etc. And still don't have the courage to buy a whole chicken 😑

  8. This video gets an A++from me! İt was very easy to follow. Loved that you explained the importance of keeping the breasts whole in order for them to evenly cook with the rest of the chicken, and then you gave us a stock recipe and directions so that i don't even have to look at another video for that! Also, your voice was very easy to listen to throughout the video. Thank you so much for a great tutorial!
