How tall are your sawhorses?
For me personally I do not particularly care for eating the skin. So instead of plucking the chicken I skin them which removes the skin, feathers and all leaving you with a nice clean carcass to carve up. If your in a hurry and you've had some practice you can have the skin with feathers removed in under a minute. It does depend on the age of the bird too though. Young friers are easy, older birds the skin seems to want to cling to the carcass a little more. I definitely recommend skinning them it saves a lot of work... unless you love eating chicken skin then have at it.
This is so neat!!! I have this written down for my handyman if and when he can come and build me one. ThanksI believe that the legs are 4 feet long which puts the tops at a bit under 4 feet tall. We used hinged sawhorse hardware from Ace Hardware but did not permanently attach the cross pieces. This lets us easily store the leg pairs and cross pieces when not in use. I have to reach up to get the chicken into the cones and reach down to slit the throat or sit on a chair as I do when plucking.
