This is by far the best video on cutting up a whole chicken. All the other videos focus the camera too much on the person doing the cutting rather than the cutting motions. Will definitely be forwarding this to my friends!

[@ManifestingwithIntention]

I did a great job on cutting up a chicken because of your video. It was not difficult whatsoever and I even took the oyster out without damaging or tearing it.

[@homecookbasics]

Love this, thanks for letting me know I really appreciate that. Sometimes I remove the breast differently check out my grilled chicken tacos video!

[@ManifestingwithIntention]

I will do that. Again, it was a pleasure cutting up a chicken because of your video. You're a fabulous teacher and instructor. It's much appreciated.

[@ebuygum17]

This is a great video. He doesn't do it too fast and explains each stage well. Nice one!

[@avarmauk]

Best demo for cutting up a chicken. Got that oyster and carved the breast out. I’ve seen other demos where people cut through bone a bit too much

[@homecookbasics]

Awesome...glad it worked out!

[@wespeakforthetrees]

Nice job. Thanks for the education!

[@katem3941]

Best and most detailed video and verbal directions on how to piece out a chicken that I have found on the internet! Thank you!

[@homecookbasics]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nowakezoneforever6021]

Excellent job!! I have watched a lot of videos on this topic and yours is very easy to follow and you cover all the important points. A little earlier today a video taught me about cutting on the drum side of the fat line so it was cool to see you mention it, too. I’ve now subscribed and look forward to watching your other videos. Good luck to you and again, great job.

[@homecookbasics]

Awesome! Thanks for watching.

[@AaronLKLD]

Did you find the video easy to understand on how to cut up a whole chicken? Let me know in the comments. Also I have the steps on my website check it out... homecookbasics.com/how-to-cut-a-whole-chicken/

[@arfasaif6139]

Thank you. This saved a lot of time and money 😅

[@samantharogers8038]

Thank GOODness!! I just suffered through with a bad video where they kept cutting back to the person instead of keeping focus on what was going on on the board!! You were slow and wonderfully descriptive. So many other videos I found afterward had the same issues as the first. Will definitely be looking to you for the rest of my help in the kitchen!

[@bolatzh9558]

Perfect video. Thank you

[@homecookbasics]

Thank you!

[@kofibruce9598]

This really helped me out, thanks!

[@homecookbasics]

Glad it helped!

[@umtozzi]

Great job illustrating. The only thing I do differently is when I cut a chicken into parts I like the bone on the breast so I just cut straight through there.

[@lindaatkinson6415]

You make it look simple, thanks!!

[@homecookbasics]

You're welcome!

Man i just moved for the first time and i watched like 5 videos how to cut chicken but all of them are just too fast and expects like i have lot of cooking experience i guess this finally is great slow and understandable, im following this channel to learn how to not die by hunger lol

[@homecookbasics]

Thanks I am glad it helped. A lot of people complain the videos are to long.

[@akesh2838]

Great video tnx a lot

[@homecookbasics]

Most welcome

[@MartinSanchez-vs9qf]

Loved this explanation, nothing like other videos that just say "just cut here where I'm cutting" and there's 0 explanation of how to follow what line

[@AndhraitesFood]

Nice sir

[@sumithra576]

You made it look so easy and not intimidating for beginners like me. Very detailed and nice explanation.

[@homecookbasics]

Glad it was helpful!

[@cosmin113.]

thanks i did it and im 14

[@shaneGonnaJones]

After seeing Clever chopping chicken by the Orientals This seems slow… but still informative Thank you

[@belinda9646]

I did a really bad job. It was my first time so it’s got to get easier.

[@homecookbasics]

I have a new method, just need to make the vid

[@belinda9646]

@@homecookbasics have you made the new video yet? I’ve cut up a few more, I may be getting better but I give the term “butcher” a new meaning.

[@KimSevern]

No pulley bone? Come on man. 😉

[@KT-ed8hj]

The chicken breast part is the hardest to understand. Still don't know where to start slicing that part

[@homecookbasics]

I have an entire video on cutting chicken breast? Search on the channel.

[@KT-ed8hj]

@@homecookbasics ok thanks

[@KT-ed8hj]

@@homecookbasics I meant separating the chicken breast from the whole chicken

[@maryannnassan7137]

What about the tail?

Huh?

[@thaddeuskillens3663]

😮😅

[@eliascortez6240]

The poor bird

[@Formerrandomminecraftgamer790]

I tried my best but I can't do the freaking breast

[@homecookbasics]

Lol..it all takes practice, keep trying. Try from the top and work your way down the center bone. I'm actually doing it a bit different now, I need to do another video.

[@londellmalone5414]

Nooooo, leave the wing tip

[@brotherskeeper5897]

volume so low

[@dbhhattac]

Very slow

[@chanceskip52]

I always see people cutting off the wing tips to me that's a waste it's as big as a shrimp so why waste it and thin he's asking you to join his channel plus he starts off with blasting music not for me and this is my opinion,

[@12345mmmmas]

You talk too much
