It’s amazing how professional chefs and their abilities can make what is for many a daunting task seem like a nightmare “conundrum”.

[@melfuz]

Lol! You are so right 🙂

[@kyraisaboss11]

I hope there is a written description

[@finn3102]

True, but the problem is they make it seem so easy you think you can do it as easily. I eventually got the chicken cut up, but just could not find those joints. Ended up having to saw through the bone.🤣

[@ronaldjosephfernandez3723]

Good point

[@user-uj4kn7hm5r]

This was the perfect instructional video, straight to the point and quick. I cant see why anyone would complain about the speed, you can replay it and watch it again if you didn't follow...

Or just slow the video down. 0.75x is best.

[@likechaaa]

i know the timer was there to emphasize how quick this is - but i would have preferred a slower video which spent more time teaching exactly how/where to cut the chicken with more close ups. Just some constructive criticism - of my personal preference.

[@andhikaputra4038]

I believe Sarah has one that's more detailed on the channel. Shouldn't be hard to find.

[@FlyingBirdHawk]

the whole point of the video is the emphasize how easy it is to break down chicken... if they went more in depth, it would make a daunting task for most feel... daunting

[@beeCivil162]

9 years and this has been the best tutorial I've found. Thanks a lot!

[@jas672]

My Filipino mom did this like 2nd nature, always watched her do it but enjoyed the food more than learning how, she passed and so thankful to finally learn! Thank you!

“Look how fast I cut chicken”

[@mazzyboom919]

Seriously.. cause everyone wants to cut up chicken in a min. Lol

[@JecAudioThR33]

I lol

[@meganfrankie1389]

I tried this method and was surprised at how easy this version is. My chicken pieces are happily roasting away now. Thanks for the tip!

[@paulina9545802]

if i would do this that fast i'd probably have no fingers afterwards

[@KhanhTheLearner]

speed comes naturally with experience. You can start slowly and very carefully, to make sure you do everything accurately. When you get more comfortable, maybe by the 100th chicken, I'm sure you'll be faster.

[@brotherjoeradosti]

Exactly!

It’s 6 years since you posted. Do you still have all your fingers?

[@WrongGone]

I was in a rush before work and had a whole chicken to cut. I had no idea what to do and this video just saved me. Probably the best chicken cutting video out there if you are running late on time.

[@chandrimasarkar9221]

Can you please show us a video about different cookwares for example - non-stick, glass, stainless steel or anodized , their advantages and disadvantages , which is healthier and best way to maintain them ?

[@masterbulgokov]

Perfect video: concise, useful, and beautiful.

[@jenniferlopez4148]

So...are you teaching? Or competing with someone?

[@JodBronson]

LOL *OMG!* 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@matthewr2361]

This is probably a comfortable speed for him lol. Professional chefs have no idea they're leaving everyone in the dust. They're used to working so fast. It's cool to watch.

[@trayel83]

The commemt makes no since. Read the tittle. Why would it take longer then a min. This is for people who know how to cut the chicken all ready and how quick amd easy it is when you get comfortable. Thus saving a lot of money

[@amygdala51]

Ha! I thought the same thing. Maybe save the actual under-a-minute thing for the end of the video.

[@ChinaGlazeGirl]

😅😅😅😅⏳🕦⌚⏰

[@brodiemccarthy363]

Excellent video bro. I rewatch this every so often to refresh. That drumstick thigh separation cut instruction is money.

[@staceyhoward127]

My chicken must have been a mutant because the pieces I ended up with look NOTHING like his neat little assembly. :(

[@passiveagressive4983]

Keep trying. My first attempt was a disaster, but I practiced. Unless I cook for family BBQs etc, I no longer by chicken pieces. Always whole ones

[@lacikocurek4936]

I really like this video, I just wish it was a little slower! He's so confident!!

[@kevscranes]

I don't know why people are complaining about how fast Thomas was working I found this video very informative and easy to follow. Just use YT settings and slow it down if that's the case Lol. Saves money and enough left over to give the fur babies a treat. Thanks.

[@XxxXxx-yh5gz]

This video is fast, straight to the point, and clear enough to understand. Great video

[@arianadourre]

Hey Thomas, I love your show and your hosting but I think what most of the people want to see is how to cut the parts precisely not exactly you doing it within a minute. You always explain how and why you should do things so it would really be great if you can show us where to cut in for certain parts and where to crack etc slowly without speeding it.

[@mantobibi4852]

Perfect and Concise tutorial , took me just 5 minutes to part the chicken into pieces , thank you so much

[@Kate-yl1wc]

It has helped me majorly for my food tech gcse exam! My year 10 teacher did not help us enough and my chicken turned out a bit weird looking and almost put me off from attempting it again so glad this video has helped me make my chicken look professionally cut!

[@suekylicious]

So helpful thanx! Can you plis show how to debone it too?!!

[@MsLuziaBojart]

Yes! I was gonna say that! So many recipes ask for deboned chicken, but I cant find it at my local grocery store.

[@33braeden]

Perfect video, short and to the point. Nice work

[@peterclemmins7099]

Don't listen to the haters. I appreciate videos without too much extraneous detail. Good job, two thumbs up.

[@yueyangwang3698]

That's amazing every cut was so precise

[@NeverEndingStar]

wow i was worried this was going to be a difficult task, thank you for showing it with ease!!!

[@trayel83]

I dont wanna insult any one. But why did all of you who are complaing about his speed, watch the video with expectations that it was going to take longer then a min? The video is tittle cutting a a whole chicken in a min. If it took longer everyone would be talking about that was over a min lmao. Come on now

[@makeupbyjessika1]

Whenever someone is teaching, it takes longer to do the tsk because of the added explanations. I’m sure if he wasn’t teaching, he’d have dissected the chicken in a minute of less. Either speed is impressive!

[@kallebruun6924]

Thanks dude you just made my day

[@mikeaubrey6058]

Amazing, thanks. I have never cut a chicken up so well and so fast.

[@astridnj2860]

Ah. I didn't read the 'under 1 minute' bit. I came ready to learn but got shocked at how fast he cut that chicken. Well done sir, very fast and good skills 😁

Loved this video my mother in law is normally the assassin in my kitchen but she forgot so had to revisit how to do this and boom in one minute I was done thankyou

[@smoore69]

Thanks, that was easy. I never knew making a simple video on how to cut up a whole chicken could be so controversial. Thanks. Great video.

[@fernandocarrillo4595]

This was the best cut up a chicken video I have ever seen in my life

[@dstmars1]

I cut up my first chicken and pretty much mangled it. My main problem was that my chicken was all slippery and was hard to hold on to. I ended up ripping all of the skin off. Your chicken in the video here looks moist but not slippery. Did you wash the whole chicken first? How does yours looks so dry? I bought a Tyson chicken and the plastic seal wrap was full with water. I had to dump out a lot of water first.

[@finn3102]

I think that was one of my mistakes. It is probably best to wash the chicken after cutting it.

[@chefv1king]

This is without a doubt the best chicken breakdown tutorial i have seen so far. Much appreciated!
