How to remove the breasts from a whole chicken

Now we’re left with the main cavity with the breasts attached.

Optional, remove the skink

First (unless you want to leave it on) remove the skin by starting pulling it up and the top/sides and gently glide the knife along where it’s still attached to the breast, the knife should do all the work for you be sure to apply a very small amount of pressure as you cut, too much with cut through the breasts.

Now to take the breasts off, start by feeling the centre to find the spine and slice from the top as close as you can to the bone cutting down the side of the breast.

Continue cutting round the bottom to remove the breast.
