Being good at breaking a chicken down quickly can save you a ton of money. For example, cut up birds are $1.29/ lbs, whereas whole ones can be as cheap as $0.99 per pound. At $0.30 cents per pound savings, you need to be pretty quick to to really save money (with savings at $1.50 per bird, you need to be under 3:36 to make it worth your time if you make $25/hour: the more you make the faster you have to be), so since we eat so much chicken I decided to make cooking into a mini challenge:
2 RFT, Rest as needed
Dismember a whole chicken into 9 pieces, skin and remove fat
1:47 (PR), 1:37 (PR) ()
The process is (with one knife only) cut off both wings, cut whole legs off, cut back off, pull off breast skin, split breasts, divide legs, pull off skin, cut extra skin off legs. Anyone want to try to beat those times? I bet a minute isnt out of the question (1 minute dismemberment = $90/hour wage). If I was a butcher, you would be paying me $55/hour to cut up chickens.
Save yourself some money and become good with a knife!
