Breakingdown a chicken
Most often when I'm shopping, I opt to buy a whole chicken. not only is it less expensive than buying the various parts, but also for a couple of reasons, I like to make my own stock, , 1 I can control how much salt is in it (store bought tends to be loaded) and 2 I always give a jar or two to my grandmother (she loves it) so, that being said, here is a short video which I hope is helpful to anyone toying with the idea of following suit, who may not be sure of how to break down a chicken, you will see as I go about it, I place certain parts (namely the bones and organs) directly into a stock pot, keep in mind I only go so far in this video, one could go further still and separate the thigh from the drumstick, the breasts could be separated and butterflied (cutlets) the wings can also be split into drumettes and flats, but for today i just went for the basics
