The breasts are fairly easy. You can see what you are going after. They are pretty easy to get to.
  • so many jokes here...

Okay, feel for the keel bone. That' s the bone than runs between the breasts along the length of the chicken. It looks like a keel when you get the meat off. Pretty smart, huh?

At the end is the wishbone. The part below the wishbone is part of the neck.

Your going to cut along the meat on the side of the breast. Now cut along the keel bone. Cut down until you feel bone. You'll hit the wishbone towards the to. Cut a slit along the wishbone to free the meat from it.
Now, make sure your knife is flat against the rib bones and separate the meat from the ribs. you can tug a bit and it will come off easily.

Flip the breast over and you can see the tenderloin. Pull on the top part, (it has a whitish tab tendon piece) and will come easy.

There you go. All 12 skinned and mostly boned pieces. With taking pictures, it took only 30 minutes to reduce this bird to the pieces shown!
