How to cut a whole chicken

To separate the wing from the breast, use a sharp knife to cut through the ball joint where it meets the breast.
To remove the whole leg, first cut through the skin between the thigh and the breast.
Continue to pull on the leg and wiggle it a bit to determine where the thigh meets the socket in the back. Use a boning knife or paring knife to cut through that joint.
Look for the thin line of fat that was perpendicular to the body. Cut through the line of fat to separate the thigh and drumstick, wiggling the joint as needed to determine where it is.
To remove the backbone, cut through the rib cage on one side of the backbone with kitchen shears. Repeat on the other side of the backbone to remove it completely.
To cut the breast into 2 halves, place it skin-side down, exposing the breastbone. Use a lot of pressure to cut through the reddish breast bone and whitish cartilage right down the center of the breast.
