How to remove the legs from a whole chicken

First things first, lets get the legs off!

Start by pulling the legs to the side then trim through the skin so you can see the flesh underneath.

No you need to pop out the bone joining the leg, pull the leg back and out the the left (or right, depending which leg you are removing) and you should hear or feel it pop out of place.

Now simply slice through where the joint was previously blocking the knife from cutting and you have a whole leg(s) with thigh attached.
