Introduction
Congratulations on your new rotisserie chicken! This delicious bird is a great way to feed a large family or group, and it’s also perfect for those who want an easy meal without any hassle. But how do you go about cutting a rotisserie chicken?
Here are some tips to help you get started:
1. Start by removing the chicken from the rotisserie. If it’s still hot, let it cool for a few minutes so that you can handle it more easily.
2. Cut away any skin that is loose or hanging off the chicken. You can leave some of the skin on if you prefer, but be sure to remove any that is Burn (ed) or (ing).
3. Use a sharp knife to remove the legs and thighs from the body of the chicken. You can do this by cutting along either side of the breastbone, or by following the natural joint lines.
4. Once the legs and thighs have been removed, cut each one into individual pieces – thighs can be cut into two or three pieces, while legs can be left whole or cut into two pieces at the knee joint.
5. Now it’s time to remove the wings. Use your knife to cut through the joints connecting the wings to the body, then cut each wing into two or three pieces.
6. The final step is to remove the breast meat from the carcass. Start by cutting along each side of the breastbone, then use your knife to carefully strip the meat from the bone in one piece. You can then cut this piece of breast meat into smaller pieces if desired.
What You’ll Need

Step 2: Use your knife to remove each leg from the body of the chicken. You may need to use a little force to get through the joint connecting the leg to the body.
Step 3: Once you have removed both legs from the chicken, use your knife and/or kitchen shears to remove the thighs from the legs. Set aside the thighs for later use.
Step 4: Using your knife, make a horizontal cut along one side of the breastbone of the chicken. Cut as close to the bone as possible.
