How to cut poultry meat?
To make your favorite chicken recipes, you first need to know how to perform the first step. Cutting is essential before creating an appetizing dish. To ensure the fillets are well-cut, you'll need a whole chicken and a small knife. This tool helps you better slice the parts of this meat that you can marinate. Start by cutting the neck and collarbone before placing them to the side. Next, place the chicken breast-side down and cut the first and second phalanges of the wings. After cutting each joint, make a cut along the body, following the bone of the carcass. To perform this step correctly, cut with the sharp end of the knife before separating the leg and thigh using your thumbs. Use your hands to remove the other limbs attached to the carcass. Using a knife, remove the pieces of meat surrounding the carcass. All that's left is to season it with lemon juice, an essential ingredient for your health, or cilantro!

How to debone a chicken for stuffing?
If you want to cook the chicken and stuff it with small pieces of almonds or vermicelli noodles, you must be meticulous with your poultry. The technique is similar to the first, since the main step is to remove the neck and collarbone. Be careful not to remove the skin if you want your dish to be crispy and delicious! You'll need to make an incision along the edge of the carcass and cut the wings down to the thighs, pressing down to cut the joints. Remove the bones by scraping with the tip of the utensil. Leave the wings intact for a better presentation, and the chicken is ready to be stuffed. You can create a delicious stuffing with your favorite ingredients such as Parmesan cheese, boiled spinach leaves, sundried tomatoes, rice, or risotto. It's best to buy a product made with the expertise of local farmers, which you can brown with a drizzle of olive oil, which offers many health benefits.
