Now that you've gotten the chicken home......

As promised....here's the first installment in our series of chicken videos. 'How to break down a chicken'. Scott demos how we break down the birds at the restaurant and hopefully you will be able to follow along at home. As I have said in earlier posts, please try this at home. It is so much more fun buying a whole bird from a great farmer and making a couple of meals out of it or just roasting it whole. One thing that I neglect to mention in the video....all of this goes a lot quicker and easier if you are equipped with a very sharp knife. I know that for a lot of folks very sharp and knife aren't words that collide in the same sentence too often, but they really need to. Think about this...you are about to cut(or hack) apart a chicken that a farmer worked his ass off for eight weeks to raise and you're going to beat the shit out of it with your lame 'I haven't sharpened this thing in years' knife. If that's the case for you and you have dull knives SHARPEN THEM OR GET SOMEONE TO SHARPEN THEM FOR YOU. If you can't take care of this minute detail, please go to Chili's for dinner and enjoy the Southwest Egg Rolls. YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS COOKING WITH GREAT INGREDIENTS, YOU LAZY SLOB. Am I being too subtle again? Please use a sharp knife. Enjoy the video.
