How To. Debone A Whole Chicken.A Stuffed Chicken Cushion.

[@goddenbi]

As a chef this is a ridiculously useful channel, I wish I'd found it years ago when I left college. 10/10 and bonus points for how sharp the knife is.

[@malkadog]

As a butcher of 35 years. Great hold on the boning knife. The lollipops are brilliant mate. Love it.

[@Luke-wm8cp]

And the award for the sharpest knife in history goes to Scott, ladies and gentlemen!

[@GrowingDownUnder]

and the way he hold that knife give me anxiety

[@spodergibbs5088]

Despite the fact he’s English.

[@pegyonaki5019]

It's been years since I've deboned a whole chicken and your method seems easier. I will definitely check out the video on the Butcher's knot. My daughter's been asking me to do this and now I'm confident I can do it. Thank you so much.

[@bettyandralph]

The best, most sensible chicken deboning video for mere mortals. Easy to follow. The best!!! thank you.

[@francoisstrauss7342]

I love watching Scott working his magic. This vid shows 3 importants things: Confidence, Experience and a very sharp knife! Thanks for showing the uneducated how it should be done!

[@wcoyote61]

i've been a meatcutter in the mid-west u.s for 40 years.. had a real good instructor. you sir had the same training.. (VERY WELL-DONE) i have boned-out turkeys(10-16}lbs the exact same way,as well as 4lb chickens. the turkeys required a 6" knife...the chicken i did with a VERY SHARP pocket knife,as i only used the first 2" of the blade tip(finness) on following the bone to get it done.. a very good example on your video.....my respects to a truly master meatcutter(as we call them in the u.s.) thanks mate, watch your fingers!!!

[@pugtronix]

My new year’s resolution was to learn how to debone a chicken, I’ve just finished my first attempt (it took me just under 2hrs lol!) and I’m very pleased with how it turned out! Looking forward to roasting in oven for Sunday lunch tomorrow! Thank you Scott! 😎👍🏻

[@GPgundude]

You are THE MAN when it comes to boning a chicken ! I learned so much ! Thank You for sharing your skills !!

[@FreshfrogmarketingUk]

Just tried this for the first time and it worked out almost perfectly, thanks to your clear instructions. Great video, thanks.

[@termite122]

ive done all kinds of birds exactly how your video shows..being a hunter ive done duck,grouse, pheasants and turkeys and of course chickens..i learned from your video and i can do it now very quickly with no waste at all..thanku very much for taking the time to post the video..much appreciated.

[@Mulnader]

Thank you very much for sharing. You inspired me to De-bone your way two chickens. I did one yesterday and just finished another one a few minutes ago. I bow to skills of my Master Sensei. You did it in 7 min and it took me around 1:20-1:40h to repeat the whole process. I have a lot to learn! :D I can't wait to bake my birds tonight

[@yahshuah29]

Absolutely masterful! Whats funny is that when I was young I had all of these skills because I grew up watching chef and cooking shows but lost a lot over the years due to non usage! This guy is a master cook in my opinion.

[@stefanomorandi7150]

I'VE TRIED THE RECIPE TONIGHT..... SIMPLY AMAZING! ive never before completely deboned a chicken (nor one was in the house since my grandmother days) but this video is PERFECT so i managed... then i cooked it 1,30h with stock/potatoes/onion/tyme in the oven, then grilled it to crispy skin for another 15-20 min i sincerily want to thank you Scott, you videos and enthusiasm are teaching me (all of us) a great deal about cooking, cheers from italy sir i will try to never buy pre-portioned chicken for the rest of my life ^_^

[@whatsascrewdriver5572]

... at 300 degrees F, 150 degrees C...?

[@jorgelima6216]

I'VE SEEN MANY WAYS TO DEBONE A CHICKEN, BUT THIS IS THE BEST

[@a_pet_rock]

Scott, you are spot on about American chickens being wet. Most chickens we get in the supermarket have been treated with a solution to jack up the water content so they can charge us more for less bird.

[@loganwilliamson632]

Here in Japan the chicken lollipops are really popular, you can even buy them frozen in packages like you would buy your regular chicken wings. They're called "tulip chicken" here! Great video, thank you.

[@toms.3977]

I do believe you've turned a sow's ear into a silk purse. Excellent skills. Good show!

[@TheTreeGal]

Absolutely fascinating. This man knows how to use a boning knife. Thanks so much for posting this amazing vid.

[@elliottdebell7783]

First video that is clear and goes slow enough to understand thank you 👍🏻 subbed

[@ButterFly-zh8ho]

Perfect, and a stuffed chicken is a good idea with a deboned chicken.

[@MinhNguyen-mo5fp]

Thank you for sharing the excellent technique to debone the chicken 🐔 😊👍🏻🙏🏻

[@MrBildo]

American here: I can confirm that most of our supermarket chickens have been either brined or injected prior to packaging. It is what it is, but that's what they are so "wet" as you mentioned. I've butchered quite a few locally sourced chickens and it's pretty much the experience I see on your videos. The only difference is we take off that last leg joint during the initial slaughter.

[@christianjambou8208]

Meat products are total shit in USA.

[@Shrimpvision]

i dont even eat meat but this is fascinating lol. i always hated when my dad made me debone chicken haha but this guy makes it so easy

[@chopinkiang265]

Whenever I view your presentation, lesson, I already have learned so much from you, especially advanced (which really are fuindamentally common sense) tips and techniques. Thank you from Texas!

[@jimskurchak2911]

this is by far the best video on this topic.

[@unitedstatesdale]

He makes it look so easy. Ive destroyed the last 3 chickens but after the fifth one, I am now a expert. get a deboning knife and keep it super sharp

[@matthewguralsky]

Just came across your videos Scott, love the pace and the expertise. Very easy to binge watch!

[@Ivan_Glamdryng]

This cushion technique really intrigues me. I have not seen it before your lamb video. It makes me want to try it but I know my wife and she will scream when she thinks I am "wasting" the carcass. We dont use much stock in my home BUT the carcass can be cut up and floured and fried to make a snack. May sound weird but we like chewing on bones( guess we are too close to our neanderthal ancestors ;-)

[@nicke5056]

Cheers

[@nocte1701]

Truly want to thank you for this series. I started with the how to butcher a lamb video which was invaluable. I also thoroughly enjoyed the ones for venison and Rabbit as well. Heck my Wife likes your omelet. Again Kudos, My freezer thanks you and now I act less the fool when I talk to my butcher, even if he can't get whole venison or Elk. Regards Ian

[@vladimirpetrovich2246]

Thanks Chef. That was a great tutorial. I watched it and then did it. I can't wait to put a whole chicken in my sous vide.

[@bcknives4297]

I would really like to see how you cook these! Think that would be a great new video. Thanks a lot, Scott.

[@runnerbeanrunnerbean9047]

hi scott i deboned a whole chicken,made a cushion ,now im doing a lot of them for peaple,thanks mate,all the best ju.

[@intractablemaskvpmGy]

I lay a surgical towel over the board and it keeps the chicken from sliding around. Sometimes I wear gloves. It helps if the chicken has air-dried in the fridge. Butchered many a bird but never boned out a chicken. Now I know how! Thanks Scott I'm doing this soon.

[@TheBobutica]

I like your method. Simple and raw. especially those that are destructive to the muscles of the legs. I'll definitely will try your way on the grill.

[@scuzzbecuzz]

This is fun watching you in Birmingham Alabama USA. ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!!!!

[@sharronwalker24]

Seen so many deboning demos as trainer like yours soo much thanks!

[@catalogs6938]

yes, this channel is useful, is lifeskill class, Scott is a badass dude.

[@robprince6242]

As I have said before, Your skills make it look as though anyone can do this, Thanks so much for educating us! You keep making videos, we will continue watching. Cheers !

[@BenjaminHauer]

Mr Rea, thank you, for sharing your skills!!! And not only in this video, such a great info for urban survival!!!

[@arrow12680]

You're a genius master butcher Scott!.

[@dannysgal8946]

those chicken lollipops are a brilliant idea i might have to try them for my son

[@anastasiostresinis6899]

Brilliant and disturbing at the same time. Its so much easier to accept a chicken filet than an entire boneless chicken. Trix of the mind i guess! Scott I admire your craftsmanship!

[@captainscrew1252]

Chicken lollipops. Wing drum sticks. I just.. I'm loving this video. Jewelry and chicken is no good.. but I really am just thrilled with the whole shebang. Hehe. Chicken lollipops...

[@TeAmoCristoJesus]

Awesome technique!! Thank you for sharing. I always wanted to take my chicken to another level. Your video is very easy to understand.

[@renita1231]

It's so funny you did this one. I showed my wife the turkey you deboned and I did the chicken like that. Then you posted this one and I will have this one for lunch tomorrow. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from newfoundland

[@CasperLabuschagne]

Cannot wait to do this. Excellent videos where I have learned a lot in each show.

[@raynmaker]

thanks to your video, i deboned an entire chicken for the first time today in about 20 minutes! sadly i don't actually own a proper deboning knife (plan to get one in the future though) so it took a bit longer with a regular big old chefs knife, but with the simple steps you've shared i was able to do it quickly and safely with minimal meat wastage. i stuffed mine with diced fried veg and mushrooms, we'll see how it comes out when it's done. thanks again dude! love your channel!

[@billsticker]

A chicken cushion? I like that. Will try this weekend. Note on the broken wing bones. An old friend who used to farm chickens once told me the broken bones were down to the feed quality given to the chickens. He said cheaper feed does something to the chickens calcium absorption and makes the wing bones brittle so they break easily during catching and processing.

[@davyc412]

never tried any sort of butchery before, but I just tried this. took me like half an hour, and its not nearly as pretty as yours, but damn proud i managed to do it at all. thanks for the videos, they're all awesome!

[@sadonion4378]

[@dedpxl]

yeah I only clicked to see it cooked.

[@TheMrZachHill]

@@dedpxl I wanna make this but I dunno how to cook it.

[@3lightsteps]

@@TheMrZachHill Slow cook it at 325 degrees until the thermometer reads 165 to 170F inside the center of the stuffing. Depends on the size etc. for the cooking time, but 2 and a half to 3 hrs. should do it. Also, the time depends on how cold the stuffing and your bird are. Tent the bird with foil if the skin browns too quickly and cook it on the middle rack.

[@KBfromSA]

The easiest video on this. Thanks Scott!

[@nyingpoplaymaker9903]

Great work Scott. Crispy on the outside, tender inside chicken.

[@SuperFourwinns]

I know that I have already given you a comment but I want to give you another one. I boned and stuffed two chickens into a Chicken cushion for a family dinner and they just raved about it and I let them know where I got the idea. You my friend was a hit of the dinner.........

[@itswednesdayscrewironing7576]

Thank you! I did this on a larger bird and it is easier than spatchcock method for those that dont have great strength of hands. 🤗

[@littletonharestock]

It can not be said enough, "you need a sharp knife", and you make it look easy Scott. You can see you have been doing this trade a bit.

[@bladesmark1]

Always wanted to know how to do this cheers Scott, i was going to try it a couple of weeks ago but i chickened out ....... ( i'll get my coat )

Hey Scott, I cooked this for my ma earlier today, she loved it; even though she slung mild insults about Brits about after hearing your critique of American chickens. Regardless, great tutorial, fun work, definitely a great video. Keep making these please!

[@SuperFourwinns]

Great idea. I did this and it turned out great. the only thing I did different is to tie a string around to out side of the bottom of the chicken about 1 inch up from the table. Nice job on the video as usual,
