Hello everyone, I am Xiao Gaojie. Today we are going to de-bone a chicken.
I have seen a lot of methods, and tried some too
Some need strength, some need practice.
This method is all about technique.
As long as you master the technique, you can perfectly remove the chicken even if you have never done this before.
French chef Jacques Pépin is the master
I put its video link in the description bellow.
Whoever Interested can go and have a look
Sometimes the neck is not removed by the butcher
The first step is to get rid of the neck
Then use a knife to separate the wishbone
Do it on both sides
With a hand, it falls off.
The second is to find the joints in the chicken wings.
Cut it down and divide it into two
The chicken wings are split from the middle and then pulled back
The two bones in the chicken wings are very clearly exposed.
With a hand, it came out
Then cut off the chicken wings
Let's find the joints of the chicken upper wings
After finding it, cut it open.
Cut on both sides
Slice open here
Hold chicken wings and pulls the meat down.
Until the chicken oysters is exposed.
Cut out chicken oyster with a knife
Then turn the chicken
Separate chicken breast by hand.
You don't have to worry about the chicken fillet, will tear it off later
Next we separate the chicken leg bones
So give it a flip in the opposite direction, it comes out directly
You can see this chicken bone
Cut off ligaments
After cutting off, tear down
on both sides
The chicken cartilage was completely removed.
We tear off the chicken fillets
There is a tendon in the chicken fillet and it is removed.
Now let's remove chicken wing bones
First use a knife run under the joint.
Cut all the tendons
Then press down the meat
The bone was exposed and it came out easily.
Chicken leg bones are similar
Run the knife under the joint to cut the tendons
Then use a knife scrape down the meat
When you reach the second joint, continue to cut
Scrape the tendon and meat again
Until the chicken leg bones under the joint are exposed again
Then scrape down the meat
Almost to the end of the leg
Turn it over and use the back of the knife
Cut the chicken legs
Then scrape a little more, the bone is easily taken out.
Finally, it’s just a piece of chicken cartilage. Take it out by hand.
So the bones of this chicken were completely taken out.
Chicken without bones is especially useful.
You can remove the skin or not
Chicken breast for stir fry, chicken leg meat can be used to make fried chicken
Or cut into chunks for a braised dish
If you have children at home, you don’t have to worry about small bones inside
I have made the chicken soup with the bones.
Chicken breast and chicken leg meat for the wonton fillings
Later, we will make chicken wonton soup.
Some time ago, I set a few social medial
