How To Carve A Chicken
You can beat perfectly roasted chicken, but before you serve you have to learn the art of carving. Here's how.
Step 1: Divide the joints
Place the chicken, breast side up, on a chopping board with its legs towards you and wings furthest away.
Pull a leg away from the breast, and using a very sharp knife cut at the joint to remove the entire leg, place it to one side. Repeat for the other leg and the wings.
Step 2: Carve the breast
Find the bone that runs along the centre of the breast, this is your base for carving dividing the left from the right. Slice off a layer of the breast, cutting away from the central bone. Keep going until you have carved away all of the breast meat. Then repeat on the other side.
Beautifully carved chicken. Done
