Lets butcher a chicken? ew....


So not every day in class is as exciting as the others..sometimes they are a little more... gross?!
On Friday's i have this class called culinary techniques. It kind of just shows you the basics of how to make everything, and just fundamental skills you need to throw something together real quick.. This class was a bit different than the others.
We had to basically butcher a full chicken... minus the head of course!
im not going to lie to you all, during this class i threw up twice but all in all we cut up out chickens go to make some drumsticks, 2 chicken wings, two pieces of breast, and two thighs so there was a lot of chicken for us to eat!
once the beautiful chicken was cut to shreds (mine was named cluck), we had to be "creative" so i decided to stuff on of the chicken breasts with some spinach, garlic, butter, red bell peppers, onions, and parsley. Braised that on a frying pan with some melted butter and im not going to lie to you... it was amazing.

Incase you really want to butcher your own skinless chicken... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzmjtTUQS6g thats a pretty good idea of how you would do so! saves you a lot of money and you get a hell of a lot more chicken than you would if you just bought it pre packages!
