    Congratulations on the new baby!
    My oldest (she's 7) was watching this with me and was amazed when you said the first noodle dish didn't work out. She said that whenever she watches youtube cooking videos with me, the chefs are always saying how delicious everything is and she was excited to hear that that's not always true. The concept of learning from mistakes is something we're always working on with our kids, so we appreciate your honesty!

    I was able to get whole chicken for $2.00/lb up here in Canada (not a bad price, and things are turbulent) so after having watched videos like yours for a while I took the plunge and bought 3 chickens. I spent an evening butchering them. I have no skills, and a barely passable knife, but I managed no problem.
    I got my 6 beautiful breasts with skin and bone-in (they looked amazing, proud of the cuts), 6 thighs, 6 drums, and 12 wings (they were my treat for the effort, delicious). I took all the excess skin and rendered out a cup of fat, which went into an ice cube tray. The main back bones became two stocks. I roasted them with mirepoix, and made one stock for 6 hours. This is a "quality stock", for soups etc. I then turned around and put the bones back on for 36 hours, and got everything out of those bones that I could. I'll use those stocks for things like spicy rice dishes where the quality isn't as important to me.
    I have very little in the way of experience cooking, let alone butchering. It was easy, except for the clean up. Slimy, sticky fingers are not cool. Highly recommend though.

      Ah, I think I'll see if I can buy a few chickens from Port Colborne poultry as it's the closest poultry farm that I know of nearby. I thought I was getting a deal buying 2 chickens for $10 at our local Zehrs. If I can pay $2 per chicken, I'd even pluck them if need be. Well, maybe I wouldn't go that far. I am so looking forward to the farmer's market opening in St Catharines! Not for the poultry, but for the gorgeous fruit and vegetables that the Niagara region is well known for.

    I know it sounds strange, but in your chicken salad, consider adding grapes cut in half, or some cubed up apple. It adds some of that crunch, but also a little sweetness. Cranberries are also a good option because of the tartness.

    Two tips from culinary school that have stayed with me all these years:
    1) remove the wishbone first. It's a bit more fidly to do but when you cut the breasts you'll get more meat, as a lot will stay on the wishbone and will make it easier to cut the breasts off.
    2) along the joints of the legs and thighs (even when attached to the carcass) there is a line of fat that acts as a natural divider along the joints, so you can use that as a guide for where to cut instead of having to feel your way around to find the joint. Otherwise, good job!

    Today! After the main cuts from our Costco chicken are done (legs/thighs/breasts) I use the rest of the carcass for chicken salad! Usually I go Mayo, Dijon, onion, dried cranberries, pecans, and a healthy several cranks of black pepper. I’ll have to give your version a go!

    These video clips are great. I actually enjoy any mistakes that happen along the way and then see how you make the best of the recipe.
    I also like what I perceive as a tendency to:
    1. See what you have
    2. Create a recipe that utilizes them.
    We get to see the principles behind what you are doing and then get to adapt the recipes to what we have.
    Well done.
