The look on Glen's face when he discovered the effectiveness of the "drum-side of the fat line" and his profound gratefulness! Excellent instructional vid, too!

[lauraweiss]

Great video! I just wish there were longer close up shots while he is describing, pointing a cutting.

[EAKugler]

Can we just take a minute to appreciate how sharp that knife is?

[ArinLoomis]

My husband and I raise meat birds for our family. We've always struggled with breaking them down. After tons of videos we've finally found THE BEST one! This video made all the difference. We just had our harvest and didn't struggle. Thank you!

[vikkizorilla]

This vid may be years old...but as a novice, I find very relatable. Saved to watch every time I break-down a chicken.

Appreciate these key sections:
8:01 Jaime's "drum side of the fat line" mentioned below. Brilliant revelation!
9:40-9:50 - capturing "the oyster" w/ the thigh
10:23-11:03 - cleanly clearing skin-on breasts


Thank you!

My wife and I are processing our meat chickens today on our homestead. I found this video while searching for other homestead chicken processing videos. This is probably the most comprehensive demonstration of piecing a chicken I have seen. Who knew there was a thigh oyster to consider?!! Saved for later and subscribed! Thanks so much!

[arcanescroll]

That leg/thigh cut is something I've been fighting my whole life, and I used to be a butcher (was very poorly trained).

[mish_hell_no]

Wow!! I'm in New Brunswick and can't believe Jamie popped on my screen! I used to get meat from him when he delivered to pubs! Fantastic to know how well he's doing with his bricks n mortar now. I just got a half dozen meat kings from a farm and no clue what I'm doing. Thank you for this!!

[No-mmfg]

This is definitely the most effective, informative, and simple way I've seen someone do this! You don't over complicate it for us beginners while also showing how to be quick and effective. Love how you added a close up at the end too, a very nice touch!

[Mr.MoonRabbit]

Wow, that drum side of the fat line is a life changer. Loved your face

[FivedotFiveSix]

seen this done by dozens of butchers, but learned more from watching him. very good. thanks

[jamiegaudet]

I've watched 7 different videos on how to butcher a chicken and this one by far covers the most information!

[vincentpellegrino]

WOW. He made that look so easy. I've been struggling with that for years. Can you have him back to do a whole turkey?

[avnhealth]

This is amazing! The supermarket just made a mistake and sent me 4 chickens instead of 2. They told me to keep the other 2 so bonus! But I have no room in my freezer for 4 whole chickens! This will help me to make a heap of chicken stock and get the rest cut up to fit better. Very grateful 🙂

[philortiz]

I cleaned my first roosters today. Has not done that or been a part if it in over 50 years. Wish I had seen this first. First bird in 4 parts second in more parts left third one whole because I was buthering birds that I just butchered. Lol.
This was an incredible tutorial. Saved and to be rewatched as well as watched when whole bird comes out freezer. Simply fantastic instruction.

[brenthooton]

This was the best tutorial I have seen on how to do this. You see close up where Jamie is cutting but he also describes really clearly what he is looking for and feeling for. It always seemed to me that a lot of this process is tactile rather than visual, so it really helps that he describes that part of it.

[captnslack]

Thanks to you and Jaime for this video! Using it as a guide, I was able to cut up a chicken for the very first time and didn’t massacre it too badly.

Now wish me luck cooking the first dinner on my brand new oven!

[mary-catherinekunz]

I am thankful that my mom showed me how to do this at a young age. I prefer to cut up chickens myself. Thanks for having him on your show, Glen. I always pop the joint between leg and thigh and then cut around. Cutting around the fat line looks easier. I will try that.

[petermueller]

A fantastic video with fantastic close-up views on the cutting process. I learnt quite a lot (and I have removed my other comment, apologies I had a bad day and was an idiot).

[redoorn]

this will be saved short list of videos that i refer to time and again
this is a skill i've yet to master...
Thanks, Glen
