How to prep a chicken
Stop buying your chicken portioned & packeted. Buy your chicken whole instead & portion it yourself: it's way cheaper, better quality + you get free bits to make your own healthier chicken stock.

Place chicken breast-side up and pat dry.
Locate the wishbone at the neck end. Make small cuts along both sides of the bone, then pull it out.
Pull out the wings and cut through the joints.
Pull legs away, cut through the skin, and slice through the joints. Keep the oysters attached to the legs. Cut the leg through the joint and separate drumstick and thigh.
Slice along the breastbone to remove each breast, leaving wing bone
attached.
