Preparation and Usage: Carving instructions: To ensure your chicken looks as good as it tastes, here are some useful tips on carving. All you need is a sharp knife and a carving fork to hold the bird safely in position. 1. Lift one end of the drumstick and use it to pull the whole leg away from the body, then cut through the joint between the thigh and the body. 2. Turn the chicken so the neck is facing you. Slice the breast meat evenly, carving into long slices parallel with the breast bone. 3. Hold leg by end of drumstick, slice through joint to separate drumstick and thigh. 4. Drumstick meat can be carved off in a vertical direction. 5. Using carving fork hold thigh in place and carve meat either side of the bone. Keep the juices in the foil tray for gravy making.
