How to Butcher a Chicken: 10-Piece Country Cut

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
