slimy

So today I butchered a chicken. I am new to the whole process, When I was gutting him it seems his breast and stuff was slimy, had a clear lim coating like. Is this normal?

If you mean between the skin and the meat, yes its normal. some type of connective tissue I think.

Yes, it's normal. It's a connective tissue found in all mammals - helps hold the skin to the meat. I find that when I skin the birds, during the rinsing process, it tends to 'gather' in the folds - armpits and hip-joints - so it's easier to rinse/remove at that point during the final rinse.

Congrads on your success! Let the meat rest in the fridge for 2 or 3 days, then you'll have yourself the best chicken dinner you can even imagine!
