    About:
    Jason and Lorraine. In 2016 we sold most of our belongings and left the city in southern California to start a small homestead in the mountains of North Carolina. We left the city in search for a more minimal and intentional life. We became passionate about growing our own food and knowing what exactly is in our food after I (Jason) became diagnosed with cancer. Now 8 years in remission we as a family are on a journey to live our passions.
    We document our life on RUclips videos to inspire others to get out of their comfort zone and not be afraid of change. We started our own online general store where we have available the things we make and use in real life. Thank you for following us on this incredible life changing journey!

    Thank you for this demonstration. A lot of people buy their meat already cut up and at a higher price. It's cheaper to buy a whole chicken and cut it up yourself.

    My dad was a butcher and he could never, never slow down enough to explain to me HOW to cut up the chicken!! Superb job, Lorraine!! We are going to be butchering 35 birds this September and I am now confident I can portion my meat the way I want. You're a champ!!

    I cant raise meat chicken's were I live, but I can buy whole chicken and I actually did this, much cheaper way to buy, but I took much longer time to cut up the chicken, I am looking forward to getting better at it, as this is the only way in my opinion to buy your chicken. Thanks for sharing, your instructions were clear and easy to understand.

  • @neilmunro6683
    @neilmunro6683 5 лет назад +1

    As a trained chef I am completely aware of this process... YOU DID A GREAT JOB WITH CLEAR WORKABLE INSTRUCTIONS. Thank you. It would be great to know on an economic base if this is a cost-effective way rather than buying local, excluding equipment cost, as that comes with what you do!!! Purchase of chicks, cost of feed, rap bag, and having added the three together.... average cost of the bird... I realize labor/ equipment has some bearing but that would be true of most things... If the cost of each bird after processing is to personal please ignore it!!! Nothing intended just basic economic inquiry for possibly doing the same thing...
    Kindness your way

    I’ve seen many videos on how to cut up a chicken before but was still awkward cutting one up. It looked more like a wrestling match wit a chicken using a knife! Your how to video was the BEST! You are a great teacher, Lorraine. I liked how you explained where the tendons and wishbones were, how to easily remove the skin and what parts to save for bone broth! I feel I can confidently cut up a chicken now!

    You should use a red chopping board for raw meats. The white one should only be used for bakery and dairy. This stops cross contamination of foods.
    Good video, but a couple of pointers: Chickens don't have arms, they are wings!
    Remove the wishbone before starting to remove the breast, this makes life a lot easier.
    The recommended guidelines from the Food Standards Agency suggest that you should use each colour of chopping board with the following food groups:
    Red - Raw Meat.
    Blue - Raw Fish.
    Yellow - Cooked Meat.
    Brown - Vegetables.
    Green - Salads & Fruit.
    White - Bakery & Dairy.

    Tip: turn the carcass bag inside out about an inch. That way, when you grab it to open, your now-dirty fingers are on the inside, and not on the seal. And now I'm going to be THAT guy, and point out the honing steel is meant to be used the other direction, pulling the edge flat, knocking any burrs or dings off that way, and not pushing with the blade.

  • @virginiareid5336
    @virginiareid5336 6 лет назад +1

    I just learned a new technique to cut up chickens!! Since this is a one person house ( plus dog and cat) I have gotten into the habit of stocking up on bone in chicken breasts. One of my stores will run a sale for either .98 or .99 cents per pound. Then, at home I skin and debone some for eating (saving the bones and rib meat) the rest are for soups, etc.
    thank you for sharing this way you cut chickens.

    My kids watched me cut up chickens while they were growing up. Guess I was expecting they’d learn by osmosis cause I never let/made/forced them to do one! I learned by watching my mom and grandparents in the 50’s and 60’s. Nowadays my 4 kids and 6 grandkids are city dwellers and just buy packages of the cuts they want. Kinda sad really.

    Shalom! What a wonderful way to cut up a whole entire chicken. I used to watch my grandma cut up chicken and never really learned how to do it. Folk just purchased already cut-up chicken and it was so crazy to pay more money for the chicken. Pre-cut chicken was and is necessary for so many folk whom do know this lost art of butchering. Now thanks to Mrs. "Sow the Land", I know how to cut up a whole chicken. Thank you so much and blessings to you and yours!

    If you are living a reduce plastic lifestyle ----- Soak your wood cooking board in With Vinegar or hydrogen peroxide. 1 part hydrogen peroxide to 3 parts water. I add a little soap to that personally if it's vinegar. I prefer using vinger water and soap personally. Then you soak that for about 5-mins hot water. not boiling but very hot. don't over soak the board rinse and let it completely dry

    I use the"Yen Can Cook" method. It gets more meat off the back and it's faster. When cutting up chickens (I do 3 at a time) for future dinners, I can package the pieces in a small space.Yan has cut up using 9 cuts. My pressurer cooker is sitting there for the necks, and other pieces to make broth.
