Thanks for posting this. I was so ignorant, I wondered if I was doing the right thing by cutting off the tail (people told me it their favorite part of the chicken) and the wings. I did cut off the wings right at the "elbow" and figured/hoped it was a good compromise since there isn't much meat anyway on the wings.
There sure wasn't much left after I got done trimming and I wondered if I was doing the right thing. Now I feel less guilty. Thanks!
