Thank you very much.

Why would you want to debone a chicken?? The bones have a lot of flavor in them, even if you don't eat the marrow. The only reason I can think for doing this is if you want to recreate that K.F.C. rumor running a few years ago, saying that they were breeding genetically engineered chickens, with no bones or faces. This might convince people of that.

Grills better on an open fire, I find.

If you want to make a Turducken(a chicken stuffed inside a duck, and that stuffed inside a turkey), you need to debone the birds.:P

I was at a wedding in New Orleans and they had a pig, turkey, chicken, duck and eggs. All deboned and stuffed inside each other.

I'm not sure whether they still do it, but I once heard that in ancient Greece they used to stuff a duck, chicken, turkey, and a pig, inside of a cow.

Excellent!
I never had this demonstrated to me (self-taught cook of sorts) and the trick with the wishbone was something I never knew-I had just cut straight down (on the wrong side)the centre of the breast!

Thanks and Great, useful knowledge!''

Thanks, I saw someone do this years ago. Have wanted to learn how to do this. We are starting to raise chickens and I needed to learn how to do this for future chicken cooking.
