Method

Prepare your mise en place.

Using a chef’s knife, remove the wishbone from the chicken. Do not trim the wing tips. Remove the backbone by cutting through each side of the cavity of the chicken. Flatten the chicken out by pushing on the breast area. Remove the breastbone, and using a boning knife, remove the hipbone and expose the thigh bone.
