• Turn your chicken on its side, bend each leg to the back until the thighbone pops out from its socket, then cut through the joint and skin to remove each leg entirely.
• With your chicken still on its side, pull each wing away from the body, then slice through the joint to cut off wing.
• Put up your chicken and place it on the neck end. Use a kitchen shear to cut downward through the rib cage, followed by the shoulder joints to split up the breast from back (Save the back for stock).
• Position the breast skin side down and with a chopping motion, rip the center bone with heavy knife, then cut through meat and skin to divide into 2 pieces.
• Turn each skin side up, then cut up in half diagonally through the bone to make up the breast halves into quarters.
• To split the legs, turn each skin side down. Slice through the joints (along the white fat line) to detach the thigh from drumstick.
• You should finish up with 6 to 10 chicken's parts, subject to whether you separated the breast halves and legs.
