I've jointed my first chicken!
I always thought it would be impossibly hard to do, but I fancied chicken provencal but wanted cornfed chicken so a pack of ordinary chicken bits wouldn't really do.
I followed this video on BBCgoodfood: How to joint raw chicken Pretty straightforward - and an £8 chicken provided four generous portions of provencal! Just make sure your knife is very sharp and strong kitchen scissors would be handy. Might try spatchcock next - its even simpler! Anyone else followed a video off the interweb to learn new tricks? (keep it clean, family thread )

It's much easier to de-bone a chicken after it's cooked.......

True, though I like meat "on the bone" - brings out my inner cave man, I suppose

Call me a show off but I always joint my chickens raw.
It's quicker to roast. |

Btw, I watched 5 seconds of that video - too complicated!
I joint the legs first, they have joint sockets, find that and your knife easily goes through it. Then thighs next, then I do the wings. Next, I take the breast by going through the centre of the breast bone. It can be tricky for the knife to go through, so be careful. It takes me 5 mins to joint. |

Never tried plucking poultry - always assumed it to be a tedious job probably painful on the fingers - did it take long Jambo?
