Directions

1. Choose a smaller chicken or game hen (under 2 pounds)
2. With the chicken sitting breast side down, identify the backbone of the chicken.
3. Use Super Shears (kitchen shears) to cut along one side of the backbone from neck to tail.
4. Repeat the cutting along the other side to remove the backbone (save for stock).
5. Open the chicken up to find where the breastbone starts
6. Using a Boning Knife, make a small slice through the cartilage and pull the chicken open to expose the breast bone, which will allow the bird to lay flat.
7.
