Conclusion, that it is much cheaper for you to buy the whole chicken and chop it. It's a matter of practice and you quickly master it. From then on, you will always end up buying the whole chicken.

How can we cut the whole chicken so that it is perfect?

You just have to have a little practice. Start by removing the thighs and finding that space that connects the thigh with the breast. Carefully cut through the skin so the bone can be seen perfectly.

Bend the chicken thigh to break the bone, until the joint is visible, and then cut it with the knife.

As for the wings, use your finger to feel the sensation of finding the joint joint and cut through it. To separate the bone from the breast, turn the chicken to see the fat line and cut through it.

Separate the two breasts, make a small cut in the middle of them. Turn them and press with your hand to break the bone and remove the two breasts from there.

And that's it!
