How to Butterfly a Chicken
This quick butterflying method makes it easier to cut the chicken after cooking:
1. Place your knife at the right
hand side of the backbone.
(Reverse these directions if you
are left-handed.)
2. Slice carefully along the
backbone using a sawing motion
until cut through.This may also
be done with poultry shears.
3. Rotate the chicken 180
degrees.
4. Slice along the other side of
the backbone.
5. Continue cutting until the
backbone is free and easy to
remove.
6. Flatten the chicken, cutting
through the interior of the
breastbone. Turn breast side
down if marinating.
