Being a farmers son, being honest, and selling it himself...he takes pride in his product. Some people mark up “organic” when it’s not. I respect his hard work and honesty.

Love this response. My best friend's mom growing up was a flight attendant. I remember how brutal her schedules would be. She was an excellent cook but, like you, she didn't want to spend what little down time she had cooking for her family (because, of course she wouldn't!). She did, however, love great food and would always bring back things from some particular places she'd fly. When she'd go to Japan (where she was born), she'd bring back some great stuff. The first time I had actual ramen was when she brought home hand-pulled noodles which were unheard of in the US in the late 70s/early 80s. Thanks for sharing a bit of your story and I hope you continue to show your love through your food and that your family is appreciating your work and dedication.

In the past , buying whole chickens was definitely a generational thing. It was pretty common to do so in the 70s, 80s and 90s mainly because it was extremely economical for those with a medium to large family household. There were teachable moments passed down from moms to daughters on carving and cooking traditions which were lost once more of a faster paced working professional lifestyle came into focus. This gave way to the convenience of the pre-packaged chicken standard stores adopt to this day all while charging more in the process.

I've been wanting to buy a whole chicken for quite some time and see what I can make with it but never actually do it! Maybe with this new series of yours I'll finally find the confidence to do so. I don't mind breaking the chicken apart, I just don't know what each cut of the meat works best for what, that's why I have stuck to using only chicken breasts until now, since they seem the most 'versatile'. I'm more interested in dishes that could work for dinners for 2 people/couples. Maybe perhaps you could even show how to make a good sauce that compliments the chicken? Thank you and I'll tune in for the future videos!

VintageLoveeeX Hi! I’d like to invite you to get out of your comfort zone and explore the wonders of chicken dark meat. Lol. I cook breasts less often than thighs, because the latter are so much more flavorful and you can use them in any recipe where you would normally use breasts. Also, try adding the wings to your soups or chicken stews; they provide lots of flavor and can enhance any recipe where you use chicken stock, especially if you’re cooking breasts. You can save all the wings and make hot wings at home, too. They’re easy and delicious.

hi friend. in my opinion breaking down a whole chicken is very simple once you get the hang of it. there are a few different methods and techniques for breaking them down but once you know bone placement it becomes a lot simpler. dont be afraid to break the joints in the thighs and drumette areas to get your knife in there easier, watch a youtube video or 2 and you can usually buy a whole chicken for the price of just buying the breasts. I think thighs are very versatile and you can braise them or poach them or roast them or grill them or if you want to get crazy you can do a ballotine or even just cut them up and use it for stir fry or curry or make good ole chickie nuggies. save the bones and every 3 or so chickens you break down you can nab a few quarts of homemade stock and use that for sauces or soup and whatever floats your boat. sorry for the long winded reply I just wanted to give you a few ideas :)

Yeah... Have you heard of Google? It's a wonderful place where you find all sort of interesting things including recipes for dark chicken meat and sauces.. dark meat is very versartile, you can use it for different types of soups, pilafs, deep frying, balotines, etc etc... The sky is the limit... And the rest of the carcass, yhe back, the whish bone, the ribs and any other off piece you get from deboning can be used to make either a simple stock or a brown stock, simple stock for flavouring basically anything, brown stock for making rich sauces. Recipes i enjoy chicken chasseur and chicken cacciatore.

I use both kitchen shears/scissors and a well sharpened knife when I break down a whole chicken, the shears are easier to seperate the drumstick from the thigh and the leg from the carcass, the breasts are easier to remove with the knife (for me at least 😅) And leftover chicken skin can be fried if you don't mind the calories, they're pretty good

I was literally shocked when you said you use shears for cutting up the legs... The other comment with the spatchcock I am all for... But for detaching the leg off the carcass you just need to break the joint by bending the leg towards the exterior... And separating the drum and thigh... You place the "knee" on the chopping board and you insert the knife at the back of the "knee"... I use this method since I was a kid, on homegrown, traditional breed chicken (that has bones and joints ALOT thougher than supermarket chicken) with maximum ease. I actually think using a shear would be more complicated and you would need to wash another item.

I grew up in WA and my family started shopping at the first Costco right after they opened so buying in bulk was something I was raised with, and the first thing my home ec teacher taught us was "buy the basics in bulk" and "chicken is healthy, multiple purpose, and if you buy a whole one you can use everything down to the bones and get plenty of meat super cheap". She ran the numbers with us and you ended up paying like 1/4 the price or less for a whole chicken compared to the trimmed meat and thats without counting skin, bones, and organs.

with chicken stock you can make any soup or stew as broth for flavor. If you pan sear any veggies, meats, or aromatics, use the stock to deglaze the pan and loosen the brown fond on the bottom for flavor or make sauces. Make chicken gravy. If you make mac and chees, use the stock for the roux as a base for cheese sauce. Make stuffing with chicken stock. Add it to rice, or pasta sauces, keep the extra in the freezer until you need it. Some people put it in ice cube trays for when they need to add a little to their meal. The uses are endless.

Great video! Gave me some new ideas. We've been buying whole chickens for years. I smoke them 2 at a time, the whole thing, then butcher them. The meat just about falls off the bone, very easy to pick the carcass clean. I freeze half and it'll last us about 2 weeks. After I have enough bones I'll make bone broth with carrots, celery etc. it's great.

I bought a whole chicken and butchered it yesterday. I did the schmaltz and crispy skin as well and marinated the breasts and I will bread them for dinner. Right now I’m doing my stock after roasting the carcasse. Thank you for all your good tips! 😁

You make cutting a chicken look so easy. I was so intimidated when I tried to do mine! I just roasted the whole chicken instead 😞 because I tried to do it so late at night. I’m next time I will do it earlier in the day.

I’ve only just started buying a whole chicken and breaking it down it is a complete game changer. There are pieces that I fry, sauté stew and braise (bits I freeze) and bones that I use for stock (soups, sauces etc). I will never go back to buying pieces. There are great bits like the filet, oyster, thigh, breast and Wings. OMG. I feel so accomplished that I can break them down.

Great video. We raise out own chicken so they all get frozen whole. But you can't beat the price and I always have a freezer full of homemade stock, you have the organ meats if you want them, and the bone on chicken is so flavorful. We grew about 300lbs of chicken in 2 months this summer for less than $200 and the flavor is unbeatable.

Guilty of it? Most people still ignore the fact that their meat was a living animal before. This is why they buy the parts. Sausage with a smiley face is the peak of this evolution.

I have bought whole chickens for years and yes, so many things to do with recipes...unfortunately my adult kids haven't learned that...It's not hard at all to break down a full chicken...know your anatomy and you are good as gold!!! I make the best liver pate with the liver, fry the gizzards up for a snack and also use the neck and back bones..as it makes the crispiest chicken parts..and, the carcass becomes a source for a stock...no waste!

Ive been doing this since years now, I cut the chicken a bit different, gonna try the technique you just showed it looks better. That fat is perfect for oven potatoes. And try some boneless chicken breast cooked in pan with just butter and salt at high temperature, then add a mix of lemon peel finely grinded, lemon juice and a little bit of pepper, the lemon peel takes the lemon flavor to a whole new level.

Good vid. Quite often I think of butchering a whole chicken but then I forget when I'm in the store. Lol. I'm so accustomed to just buying the separate pieces. Thanks for the vid.

I butchered the chicken like you showed, and I think this is my new favorite method. I had always cut out the spine, spatchcocked/butterflyed the bird, break the breast bone, and then cut up the pieces. I'll probably continue to use my old method if I ever need bone-in chicken breasts, but otherwise, your method is nicer because it results in more bones for stock, and having a boneless breast is more versatile for me. Awesome method! So easy

in my country(chile), whole chicken is more expensive than its parts. whole chicken cost about the same per kg as chicken breasts (the more expensive part here). also. many times is cheaper here to buy smaller packages than bulk. (you can buy 6 1kg sugar packets for the same price as one 5kg one)

Whenever I can I buy whole chicken when it is on sale. I can break it down in under 2 minutes. And I make my own broth as well. My only add would be that I wet brine my chicken 5 to 6 hours before I use it. I find it makes the chicken so much more tender and juicy. Thanks for all your information!

Love your shows and your personality. I have learned a lot and signed up for one of your classes . I hear people up north say schmalt for any rendered fat. The word schmalt has been butchered from the actual word’Schmalz’ which is a German word and not Jewish word. I am German. Keep up the great work. 😅

I think a lot of the reason people don’t butcher their own chicken... is because they don’t know how to do it. Fortunately I acquired this skill when I got married. I still use this skill to cut up my own chicken. Thank you so much for sharing your tips and tricks.

back when I was cooking for "my family" , I used to think someone was blindfolded when they "cut up" the fryers... weird pieces.. So, I bought the whole chicken and taught myself to cut up so I liked the pieces... I also used to put a whole chicken in a pot of water , bring it to a boil, boil 10 min and then turn off the heat and leave for an hour.. then it is chicken you can use any way you wish...

Guys try breaking down a whole chicken and then skewering the entire chicken (minus carcass) via yakitori method. It is amazing - and even more so if you can get a chicken with head/neck/innards in place.
