HOW TO CARVE CHICKEN AND TURKEY

Serves: 5

Ingredients

Directions:

1. Place bird, breast up, with legs to carver’s right if right-handed and to the left if left-handed. Remove ties or skewers.
2. While gently pulling leg and thigh away from body, cut through joint between leg and body. Separate drumstick (leg) and thigh by cutting down through connecting joint.
3. Make a deep horizontal cut into breast just above wing. Insert fork in top of breast, and starting halfway up breast, carve thin slices down to the horizontal cut, working from outer edge of bird to the center.
4. Now repeat steps 1 through 3 on the other side of the bird.

Special Note for Turkey: Remove and separate drumstick (leg) and thigh as directed above, and serve them whole or carve them. To carve, remove meat from drumstick (leg) by slicing at an angle, and slice thigh by cutting even slices parallel to the bone.
