_Chicken, Cooked: To cut up


Serves: 5

Ingredients

Directions:

With a sharp cleaver, remove the legs and wings at their joints. Chop each thigh, bones and all, in 2 pieces each drumstick in 2 pieces. Cut off the lower or bony part of each drumstick. Chop each wing in 2 or 3 pieces. Chop the neck in 3 pieces. Split the bird lengthwise down the spine and through the breast. Remove each half of the breast, cutting it first into quarters, then into slices about 1 inch thick (bones and all). Chop the upper and lower back in 3 pieces each. Lay these down on the serving dish. Then place the neck, wing and leg sections, skin-side up, approximately back in their original positions. Finally, place the slices of breast meat down the middle in 2 neat rows to reconstruct the natural shape of the chicken. (An easy way to do this: as the chicken is chopped, section by section, scoop up the pieces with the broad cleaver-knife blade and slide them directly onto the serving platter.)
