A video for everything
We’ve come a long way in the way we learn how to do new things. Like how to butterfly a chicken, for example.
My husband recently took a class on grilling at Hill’s Kitchen, where one of the things they made was BBQ chicken. Instead of cooking the pieces separately, the idea was to cook the whole chicken as one big piece. This required removing the backbone and smashing the remaining chicken carcass flat.
He knew basics of what to do, but couldn’t quite remember the details. In the old days, he might have consulted a cookbook or called up a friend who had good culinary skills. But today I came down to find him with the whole chicken on a cutting board and kitchen shears in hand as he watched a U-Tube video of how to butterfly a chicken.
The finished product looked every bit as good as the one in the movie and tasted even better!
There’s probably not much that someone hasn’t recorded at this point.

So, true. But there's so much that shouldn't have been.
LA -- I guess it's a free country (world) goes a long way, yes?
I tried figuring out a bow tie with YouTube, but it was too hard! I might have gotten it eventually but someone came along who knew how to do it.
I should do a video of how to bone a chicken leaving the chicken carcass whole, not a scratch!
I'd like to see that one, Bullet!
No you tube yet, but here are some pretty good instructions.

They sat if you start with something small like a chicken it hepls, but I would say you start with something even smaller than a chicken, say a Squab, or a Qauil or a Chkkar. Even a game hen. Most of the time you see Quail boned in this fashion at restaurants. its not that hard to do. You end up with and inside out bird when you finish. Then you turn him back outside out.
Bulletholes -- The real question I have is why I would want to debone a bird and leave its carcass as a single piece of meat?! :)
