How to Debone a Chicken (Chinese-style) | Knife Skills | Asian Cooking 

A video that actually debones the chicken. I've seen way too many that say they will then simply dismember it. Not the same thing. Thank you for doing it right and explaining it so well.

This video never gets old for me. Hands down the best tutorial for butchering a chicken.

0:17 look of utter confusion at Asian choices. I can relate.

instantly subbed!! wow finding cooking basics like this but outside of the western style is really rare

Wow! I never thought you could do this with a cleaver! Makes me want to get a cleaver and chicken and try it for myself.

Note to others: "In Australia the term 'Chicken Maryland' simply refers to a butcher's cut for a whole leg consisting of the thigh and drumstick."

This is great but he should probably have pointed out that he’s using a cleaver out of personal preference and a boning knife is going to make this a hell of a lot easier. The only time you would use a cleaver here is to cut through the bone, but this is chicken and it’s not really necessary.

Love the deboning of the maryland part. Thanks Adam!

This guy's recipes and cooking style is so simple and very easy to understand for a common man 👍👌

Zen & the art of Chicken Deboning.... an absolute treasure of a video! Thanks! : )

Thank you SO MUCH for posting these wonderful videos on RU-vid! They are extremely helpful!

Thanks Adam! I watched you break down a chicken on The Cook Up, the way you did it made me think I could too. Just finished my first go, success! Stock simmering away. Stoked I can prep my own marylands.

OMG what a gorgeous little pot!

Awesome video, clear explanation on the differences. It is also interesting how dark meat is priced higher in Asia but is it the exact opposite here in the U.S.

Very clear explanation....

Thank you! This is my first time trying myself (17 homegrown chickens to go!) but I love the idea of deboning the legs, which are my least favourite part of chicken mostly because of the bone.

Hi! I just discovered this channel. You are amazing. The way you teach is very easy to follow as well as informative. Thank you for all that you do.

Thank you Chef Adam for this informative tutorial ~

Following the instruction it worked pretty easy! Thanks!

he explains how to cut the supreme part in the back! props

This was one of my favorite things to learn from your book Asian Cookery School, I do it every week now as well! Loved the video, I was worried I might not be doing it wrong (deboning the maryland especially I've always found a bit tricky) but I'm pleased to say it seems like I got the gist of it from your book!

Excellent. I really enjoyed watching your explanation. Thank you.

Really interesting!!! Thank you! One complaint: now I m hungry 😋

Very informative, I've learned another way to make the most of wings and ankles!

Thank you Sifu

I love you I mean your cooking skills of course Love from India

Great video! thank you for the insight!

Your voice is so sweet.

Never mind... he kept at it. You should get an editor who likes food and cooking. Your work is amazing and yet we receive snippets.

Awesome! I've been using your descriptions from the book, but still found myself having issues. Super happy to see it in the video now!

Simply amazing, this is so awesome

Awesome! Oysters are the best! You cleared up some questions. Thx! Subscribed!

Wonderful video. Thanks!

Interesting video. Coming from a western cooking background the choices here are a bit odd to me. Like, I would never use a cleaver on a chicken. In french cooking the size of the cut determines the size of the knife. That cleaver is bigger than the entire chicken! A am much more comfortable with a boning knife or fillet knife. Also I don't get taking off a chunk of breast with the wing. That part is still white meat and will cook like white meat unlike the rest of the drummet. Lastly, that way of deboning the thigh is totally different where the thigh and drumstick are still attached. That is really cool.

Superb tutorial, I would have loved if it had included how to detail the offal (neck, heart for Yakitori)

Great video to show how to get the whole chicken , no waste.

nice job and video! thank you.

Awesome video!

Absolutely Incredible Video. Just put your technique to work. Also, just subscribed.

A regular 8" chefs knife would actually work well. I guess the only part where we need the cleaver is to cut through the ankle.

Great vid! Thanks

Man, I am impressed by your of choice music, is Great!

I wish there was a camera directly over looking down to see it better. Thanks for the tips.

thanks!!

Thank You! for this tutorial.

I think deboning means taking out the bones of the chicken with the meat still intact on the skin. Just removing the carcass and other bones. Not cutting up the whole chicken and producing different cuts

"obviously it starts with the chicken"Lol🤣

So neat, thanks Chef

Great video

Great video. I think you detailed it right. You are to me just missing the tail part which is also delicious

Great stuff making a beautiful chicken broth when the kids like it you just know.

Good video, but how about de-boning the wings as well? ;) Deboned -stuffed-fried wings are pretty awesome...

This video helped me, thank you so much!

Thanks! I cook and bake well but my butchering skills need some honing...😄

What kind of stock pot is this?

Congrats on your restaurant at Haymarket

Excellent! Thank you... ✌️❤️😁

Thank you 🐨

Who knew? I must be Chinese. I like the same parts and i bone my chicken like that so I get what I like!

Adam, you missed out a nice cut on the back of the chicken. :(

great video adam daddy

I'm so jealous of your sideburns

Nice Panerai!

Great video! I love this method of parting a chicken

Superb

Nice, informative video bro! Keep it up.

Look at him he is really enjoying the job and you should work until you enjoy your job

How do you tell where the tenderloin is? When I debone the white meat, all I usually see are the breasts.

So cool! :)

The first thing i notice is his watch. Is that panerai?

You forgot the best part... the parsons nose!

I just hacked my way through a chicken after trying to follow another video. Why didn't I come here first! 😫

What about the chicken oysters. Best part!

Great video man

Great explanation video could have been more direct. If you redo this having the camera seeing what you are doing would be fabulous. Showing tender before pulling off so I can find it, where to put knife work when cutting wing off so that we can see would be fabulous. That extra part you talked about it was not clear where that was. And how would you cook it ?

best cut in the chicken

I know this is a longshot, but has anyone tried going through the leg bone with something like a CCK KF1303? I see in this video that Adam is using more of a bone chopper. I'm wondering if I could get away with this down lower on the blade on a fairly thin knife that nonetheless has a distal taper, making it thicker at the heel (2.8mm). I may just try it myself at some point and just risk the chipping, but if someone else has personally tried it that would be great to know.

Isn't this one of the contestants at masterchef?

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?

Nice and calm music... While slaughtering the body of a dead animal...

"Here" should be the clue in word where the cameraman moves the focus to his where Adam's hands are. Alternately he could take his clues from where Adam's looking. Looking into the camera, fine focus on his face. Looking at what he's doing? Switch to where his hands are.

Is it weird this made me hungry?

can you make a video on how to debone a chicken for yakitori

For cooking noobs like me, could you do a video on how to render the chicken fat as you mentioned?

just bought a 1.8kg axe (heavy duty bone chopper) & a Shibazi XL (light weight).... Donʼt tell me I went to far and need a middle one... xD (damn... from 1.8kg to 375gr I just pray that you tell me it was the right choice hehe...)

That is the first time I have ever heard a chicken leg called a Maryland...

I don't have a cleaver, but I'mma try this anyways.

can get more info on your cutting board please?

6:09 nice

we offer u any frozen food from indonesia, frozen chicken, frozen fish, anything u need.. thank u

4:33 that's how you lose your fingers

The wings, you forgot them.

And use the left over bones to make chicken soup .. or broth .. well dogs will love them 😆😆😆. Make everything useful.

chef, , try deboning a native chicken or a wild chicken. . that one so easy. .

Australia?

Nice Panerai

Well chef it is v simpl
