How to Easily Debone a Chicken (with Deadly Chicken Recipe)

Step 3 The chicken!

I bought one on sale for $.99 per pound. I've seen whole chickens for $.79
It's hard to find white meat or wings that cheap.

Put it in the sink to keep all the juices from flowing all over your work space. I personally wash it out to get all the goo off and check for any feathers that may have been overlooked, especially in the crevices and wings.

While you are at it, pull the package of giblets out of the cavity. It may but not always contain the neck, gizzard, liver and chicken heart (dun-dun, dun-dun, old Bill Cosby routine) This time, mine had 2 gizzards and the neck with lots of fat. I won't be using them so I'll toss them in the bucket. You could add them yo your stock or freeze them for later.

You could go ahead and skin the whole thing, but I don't think that's necessary. You are trying to feel for the joints. They aren't going to be showing with the skin off. Besides, if you are going to fry chicken, there is no tastier part than the skin!

What am I going to do with only 2 breasts or 2 sets of wings?
I have a FoodSaver that I love to use. You can buy several chickens and cut them up or put the pieces you aren't going to use right away into the freezer. When you have several wings saved up or if there is a sale, add these to it.

Chicken innards are SO gross-looking, but they do add great flavor to soup stock! Also, you can cook them up and freeze them to give to your cat or dog as an occasional treat.
