VIDEO: How to Debone Whole Chicken (in less than 4 minutes)

Call me Tom Sawyer.

HB has been bragging that she could debone a chicken in under four minutes.  I told her she needed to prove it.  By the way, we're both responsible for cooking and deboning 3 chickens for our batch cooking day (on Tuesday).  Today she deboned one of my chickens.  :)


Favorite HB quotes from the video:

"I'm feelin' good.  I got some adrenaline going here."
"These are what I call the un-identifyable parts."
"If you're still watching, you're a serious trooper."
"Don't tell Sally Fallon."

Other ideas:
- Use a Kitchen Aid Mixer to help shred the meat once off the bones.
- 5 pound whole chicken yielded 8 cups of meat
- The texture of a whole chicken gross you out?  Close your eyes while deboning.  Your fingers will tell you what is meat and what is not.  Or, wear gloves.
- Cook chicken in crock pot until it is falling apart.  This will make it easier to debone and you'll pick off more meat.
