How to Carve a Chicken (or Turkey)

Inspired by conversations on the FOOD52 Hotline, we're sharing tips and tricks that make navigating all of our kitchens easier and more fun. Today, Amanda and Merrill show us how to carve a chicken.

A whole chicken ready to carve can be daunting, and that's quite understandable -- with so many bones and joints, it can be hard to know where to start.

Watch Amanda and Merrill carve a chicken, and get yourself ready to chop away at another certain bird for a certain upcoming holiday -- maybe you'll even get ambitious and dry-brine your turkey.
