instructions on How To Joint A Chicken

Jointing a whole chicken (rather than buying chicken pieces) will give you elegant, relatively boneless chicken pieces that cook more quickly, look good and are easier to eat. It eliminates those odd bones in the thigh sections, allows for trimming the drumsticks, and makes it easy to remove the skin from breast meat, thigh and drumstick if you prefer. Freeze the remaining carcass for making chicken stock – for a recipe see Chicken Soup For Your Cold in the April issue of Women's Health.
