How to Carve a whole roast chicken

This video shows how to crave a whole chicken. You will need a sharp chefs knife. Cut off the legs of the chicken. Slice them where the thigh meets the chicken breast. As you look at the chicken breast you should notice that there is a large breastbone that travels the length of the bird. Place your knife on one side of that bone and slice it down and out. We now have the breast with the wing still attached. Repeat on the other side. Now that we have four main pieces we need to slice them into smaller pieces for serving. On the drumstick you will see a line where the bones from the leg and thigh meet, cut there. Cut each wing off and slice the breast into smaller pieces.
