How to Butcher a Chicken: 10-Piece Country Cut

Поделиться
HTML-код
  • Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
  • Chef Eric Huang demonstrates how to break down a whole chicken for frying, Southern-style. Called “country-cut” chicken, this technique produces 10 pieces of chicken (2 wings, 2 legs, 2 thighs, and 4 bone-in breast pieces), with a focus on preserving the integrity of the skin, particularly the skin on the breast pieces. It’s a prime example of how much there is to learn from a professional who’s spent tons of time thinking about and tweaking simple processes to produce the best and most consistent product possible. #kitchentechnique #cutawholechicken #chickenbutchery

    I've watched a few videos on butchering a raw chicken and this is by far the best of them. Well done!

    Awesome talent and a well sharpened knife! I like how you used the ribcages to secure the skin. Also, preserving the oysters is definitely a trick I'll try next time I part up a chicken. Thanks for sharing!

    Absolute perfect presentation. Started Cooking as A Pro, back in the Early 1980's and my Great White Whale is great Fried Chicken at home. Your technique demonstrates what KFC folk call the " Keel Cut" to even out the sizes of all 10 pieces of Chicken. Really Well Done Chef!

    You made it look so easy, and your instructions were great. I tried cutting up a whole chicken up once; I thought I had a decent enough knife for the job. I did not. So, instructions on how to pick out a good cutting knife without spending too much would be a super helpful video or how to sharpen or keep a decent knife sharpened for the task would be fantastic! The right tools can make all the difference in the work.

    • @brianlee5702
      @brianlee5702 Месяц назад

      I've found a terrific type of knife for this sort thing and much else. It's an oriental style called Santoku. Comes in different sizes so just get a cheapie and see if it suits your requirements. Consider getting it sharpened every few months at the shopping centre then just touch it up occasionally on a steel. A good knife makes so much difference.

    • @fordhouse8b

      It looks like a san-mai bunka with a kurouchi finish. San-mai simply means that is is a laminated knife with a harder core steel in the center, and softer steel cladding on the outside. Often the core steel (the cutting edge) is made of a carbon steel, while the outer layers are stainless. Bunka is simply the shaper of the blade, which is basically similar to a gyuto (Japanese adaptation of a french style chef knife), but with a reverse tanto tip. Kurouchi refers to the blackened finish of the outer layers of the san-mai construction. Traditionally this was a rough finish which helped hand forged carbon steel resist rusting a bit, but in many contemporary knifes a smoother blackened finish is achieved on a stainless outer layer, more for looks than anything else. As for the brand, I have no idea. If you want to explore these types of lives, or Japanese kitchen cutlery in general, I would recommend japanesechefknives.com (JCK, based in Seki City, Japan), which ships worldwide from Japan, or ChefKnivesToGo.com (based in Madison, Wisconsin). There are other reputable online retailers, and I have heard good things about Korin (based in New York), but the first two are the ones I have experience with. I bought a Makoto (name of maker) short wa-gyuto (where the wa refers to the traditional style of Japanese knife handle) with a similar construction from ChefKnivesToGo, and a couple of Misono carbon mono steel (not laminated) knives from JCK, and all of them have served me well in a professional kitchen for several years.

    • @alexanderlin8437
      @alexanderlin8437 9 месяцев назад +1

      Martin Yan, while impressive, often gives a very rushed presentation of how to break down a chicken. Additionally, its relatively sloppy as he tries to demonstrate how to break the chicken down very quickly, rather than elegantly. That might be appropriate for a restaurant setting, but not for most home cooks.
      The presentation here is better, with clearer camera angles and lighting, and with more explanation.
