Chicken Breasts, How to Bone
The huge family-pack tray of bone-in chicken breasts from your supermarket was a deal you couldn’t refuse. Now learn to bone them yourself, because “cooking boneless” is so much easier! Here are the steps:
- Loosen keel bone and white cartilage by running the tip of the index finger around both sides. Pull out bone in one or two pieces.
- Insert tip of knife under long rib bone. Resting knife against bones, use steady and even pressure to gradually trim meat away from bones. Cut rib cage away from breast, cutting through shoulder joint to remove entire rib cage. Repeat on other side.
- Cute away wishbone. Slip knife under white tendons on either side of breast; loosen and pull out tendons (grasp end of tendons with paper towel if tendons are too slippery). Remove skin if desired. Cut breast lengthwise in half.
