How to Tie a Chicken

Take a chicken, a good knife and some kitchen string. Remove the innards of the chicken and set it down so that the breast is facing you.

Tie the string around the neck skin and the wings, then tuck these underneath the chicken.

Pass the string over the breast, slip it under the thighs and wrap it around the end of the drumsticks. Take the string back to the upper wings.

Wrap the string around the wings several times, pull the string tight, then tie a knot.
