How to carve roast chicken

(CBS News) I've just recently noticed the drastic difference in price between different cuts of chicken breast in the grocery store. Those that are broken down into cutlets, or even bone-in but sliced in half, are so much more expensive than the breasts you can purchase whole.

It makes complete sense, of course, but still it really shocked me!

Knowing how to be my own butcher, in this case, was seriously convenient...and that's not something I'd normally say of this skill (gross). But just knowing how to carve chicken properly can be a real money saver.

All you'll need are some basic knife skills and 10 minutes to spare. Easy as that.

Watch the video above to learn how to quarter a roasted chicken.

This is a great technique to use for our roast chicken recipe! Or keep it simple with a yummy side dish, like lemon risotto or barbeque beans

After watching some guy , that had a show years ago that followed cops around on drug raids with a video camera , that totally exploited weak young people as America's number one criminal for have a bag of pot was way over the top , but hey , everyone has to make a living , even if it means sticking a video camera in a young females face and asking why someone during the raid stuck a bag of pot under the mattress of the crib of her baby . This may have occurred over twenty years ago , but the shock and trauma of a young girl , the mother of the child was at the expense of making a dollar from a show . With a video camera stuck in her face while the Host of the TV show demended answers from her as to why drugs were stuffed in that location , as she was herself also a victim of the situation of both her circumstances and the raid and a video pushed into her face while someone was yelling demands at her why the pot was there .
This was an attack on a level for the drama of selling a TV show , for the sake of making a dollar at the expence of others faults and failures of youth .

And now this crime of than , is becoming a legal law now in many States .
So the Chicken assaults the weak back than , is still conducted today as Mr Woods was made out to be a bad guy for no other reason than expressing his pain for the loss of his son .

So now the same TV host threatens to cut up a card on TV if a certain group that stands for articles of the Constitution does not bow to his demands . He likes to demand things when ones are in a position of weakness due to uncontrolled events . Well we all know that if someone from the otherside were to put down $50,000.oo for this TV Host to cut up the card , this same Host would weasel his way out of cutting up the card on TV .
This littlel card is a mini reflection of an article of the Constitution , which is a huge part of the Freedoms and Liberties of the USA , and the very same ones that would support this Host in cutting up this card would also support the burning of books in the streets like those recorded in past history . Perhaps chickens do not think before they act , but perhaps they should , as others may put $500,000.oo or more on the table so this Host would cut up the card .
Some Nations of people have just got rid of a long gun registration , and seek to continue in Freedom and Liberties of Law abiding citizens .

We may not have a clue of how to carve up chickens , but we sure as hell know how to point them out .
