Cutting a chicken take me about 15 seconds, but I might add I have cut-up thousands of them. It may take more than one try to get the hang of it, however, once you've got it down, you can cut up a chicken like a pro, with hardly any effort! Perhaps the most important reason to learn how to cut up a whole chicken is that it will save you money. By buying a whole chicken you can get it cheaper than buying pieces, plus its good to know, as the same method can be used for cutting up other fowl like ducks and turkey. The leftover parts are great for soup stocks.

4. Now you can just cut between the thigh and drumstick joint, by cutting the knee joint apart.
The wings are very easy to do, just pull away the wing from the body. Bending the wing back exposing the joint.
Cut through the joint. Repeat this on the other wing.
