I need to learn how to debone the legs. The breast and thighs are super easy.

Fantastic job and a good looking dinner to boot. Julia Childs.................. Gotta love that woman, the deboning chapter in her book has made deboning a chicken easy for millions of folks, and you proved your good at it. I still debone on special ocassions and your right it gives a dinner party that shock & awe factor LOL.

Okay everyone, here's the results

Straight from the oven

Kevin's plate because he likes the leg. Notice the broken end, that's where I broke it to remove the leg and thigh bone

And mine - I like the breast - sorry it's hard to see, I'd already poured on the gravy

It really was delicious and amazingly tender. I think the tenderness must have come from the 48 hour marinade in a brine/cider soak with herbs and spices, because he was a really active bird. The other one I did the night before was kind of tough and he had been penned for 12 days. I'll remember to saok in the future.

I'm doing this one again

 

[Maggiesdad]

That looks wonderful!

Looks D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!

 

[Tracydr]

Wow! I've never actually seen an entire deboned bird before, cool!

Great job, Julia would have been proud of you, I'll bet the Ole hubby gave you a big smooooch on the mouth for that meal.
