How to cut up a whole chook in THREE MINUTES! Nutritionist shares a step-by-step demonstration
- Replies 2
It’s no secret that the price of almost everything has reached an all-time high. Now, the saying ‘every dollar counts’ hits a little too close to home as millions of Aussies struggle to cope with the price hikes. So if there are more savvy ways to keep our bills to a minimum, we’ll take them with no hesitation!
Fortunately, one nutritionist shared how shoppers can save money on chicken by simply opting out of having it readily carved. He demonstrated how to butcher a chook in the comfort of your own home – and it all boils down to knowing where the best spots are to cut a chicken egg-cellently.
Jordan Pie, who is also known as Jordan Pieface on Instagram, shared a clip of her partner Roy demonstrating how to cut a whole, raw chicken. In the caption, she revealed that they saved nearly $13 by opting to cut the whole chicken at home.
'By butchering it ourselves, we were able to save 34 per cent or $12.80,' she wrote.
But saving money isn’t the only perk of knowing how to carve a chicken, she added that you can limit your food wastage by making use of all the bird’s parts.

The nutritionist rendered the chicken fat, made crispy treats with the skin and boiled the bones to make chicken broth.
'With a bit of practice, butchering a whole chook takes us less than three minutes,' she said.
In the video, Roy can be seen chopping off the chicken legs before removing the skin and slicing the carcass in half. He then proceeds by cutting the chicken breast away from the bone and storing each piece in reusable containers.
'From one whole chicken, you’ll have two drumsticks, two thighs, two wings, two large chicken breasts, one large chicken frame (which you can save for bone broth or chicken soup), and chicken skin and schmaltz.' Jordan said.

The video was hailed as 'mesmerising' by hundreds of viewers.
'Why have I never thought about this? This is so clever!' one woman praised.
Some said that prefer to cut their own chooks too, but they don't make the job look 'quite as effortless' as Roy does.
'So therapeutic to watch! I'm nowhere near a professional. Mine looks like I've cut it with a spoon sometimes.' A user admitted.
'Well, you wouldn't want to see a video of how I cut mine up... It’s a mess no matter how hard I try to do it perfectly!' wrote another
Jordan shared that Roy usually sharpens his knives before butchering a chicken and will 'often swap between two'.

Others thought the hack was worth a shot for the crispy chicken skin alone.
'It is the best, crunchiest, and yummiest savoury snack!' Jordan said in response.
'I can confirm that the cooked chicken skin is beyond amazing! I'll buy a whole chicken for this reason only.' another chimed.
Do you know how to butcher a whole, raw chicken seamlessly or do you just wing it? (no pun intended hehe). Let us know in the comments!
