Preparation and Usage: Carving: 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 the 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.
