How to Break Down a Whole Chicken

Everyone should know how to break down a whole chicken. For one, it’s economical—whole chickens are much cheaper per pound than chicken breasts. Plus, if you buy a whole chicken, you can cut it into the specific pieces you need for the dish you’re making…. and, you’ll have bones left over to make rich chicken stock. Most importantly, I think whole chickens taste better.
