Portioning of a chickenDue to time constraints and labour costs, it is a widely accepted practice in contemporary
kitchens to purchase pre-portioned cuts of poultry. Nonetheless, having a basic understanding of
how to portion a chicken into its primary cuts is a skill that is worthwhile to master, as there may
be situations in which you need to apply this skill.
Step 1: Cut through the skin between the leg and the breast.
Step 2: Bend the leg back as far as possible, so the end of the leg bone pops out from the socket.
Step 3: Cut the leg away from the body. Repeat on the other side.
Step 4: Cut through the joints connecting the drumsticks to the thighs and separate.
Step 5: Pull the wing out fully and cut it away from the breast. Repeat on the other side.
Step 6: Cut along the underside of the bird to separate the breast section of the bird from the backbone and parson’s nose (use the bones for stock).
Step 7: To serve the breasts off the bone, cut either side of the breastbone with poultry shears or strong kitchen scissors then carefully remove the breast meat from the bones with a sharp knife. If serving on the bone, turn the chicken over and cut through the centre of the breastbone to separate the breasts - the wings are usually left attached when the breasts are cooked on the bone.
Step 8: The chicken is now divided into eight pieces. To divide into four pieces, cut the wings away with the breasts and don’t separate the drumsticks from the thighs.
Cutting for sauté (8 pieces)Chicken cut for sauté indicates that the skin and bones are retained, while the knuckles are
removed.
Lay the chicken down, breast side up and legs facing your body. Pull the wings out and cut through the first joint from the breast.
Repeat on the other side. Holding the leg, cut through the skin between the leg and the breast.
Hold the chicken firmly and bend the leg back as far as possible so that the end of the leg pops out of the socket at the hip.
Turn the chicken over and hold the leg up so that the oyster is visible under the skin.
chapter 18: poultry 455
Place the chicken breast up, legs facing your body. Remove the wings at the first joint.
Locate the wishbone and using your knife, scrape it clean of meat.
Firmly grasp the base of the wishbone and pull free.
Holding the leg, cut through the skin between the leg and the breast.
Hold the chicken firmly and bend the leg back as far as possible so that the end of the leg pops out of the socket at the hip.
Remove the leg and the oyster from the chicken.
Repeat on the other side.
Preparing a suprêmeA suprême is a skinless breast of chicken with the wingbone attached to the first joint.
Remove the skin from the breast by pulling from the tip of the breastbone toward the neck.
Find the centre of the breast and draw your knife down one side of the bone.
Carefully remove the breast meat, ensuring that the wing bone remains attached.
The breast has been removed. Repeat on the other side.

Turn the chicken so the neck is facing your body. Using a length of butcher’s twine, place the middle of the twine under the parson’s nose and around the outside of the legs. Cross the twine at the top.
Inspect the cavity for giblets and remove any fat from the vent.
Loop the twine in your right hand under the right leg.
Repeat with the left hand and leg. The string should now look like a figure eight surrounding the legs.
Cross the legs and draw the twine tightly so that the vent is now completely closed.
Draw the twine down both sides of the chicken and under the wings. Loop three times and pull tightly, ensuring the twine is positioned between the neck and the breast. See final image.
Loop one final time and tie off. The leg end of the trussed chicken.
The neck end of the trussed chicken.
