Step 1: Remove the Legs
Slice the legs off the chicken by turning the breast towards you, slicing between the wing and leg, then pulling to dislocate the joint and remove the leg. Repeat for the other leg.
Step 2: Skin the Breast
Pinch the skin, run the knife through to loosen the skin, then peel it off.
Step 3: Remove the Wings
Remove the wings by slicing around the wing joint, then use the flat part of the knife to break the bone, snap and peel away the wing. Repeat for the other side.
Step 4: Remove the Breast
Remove the wishbone, then slice down the middle and remove the breast.
