What do you use to cut up the chicken? Any special kitchen implement? I often cook a whole chicken, but like the idea of cutting it, for the separate parts.

Chop it up,
..cover it with sage to mask the smell ,
..cover with foil and cook slowly,
..remove the skin and bones,
..give to Chloe

In summer most of the chicken would be eaten cold with salad which is what I mostly live on in the warmer weather.

Winter is the time for half of the chicken to make a roast plus some cold for a sandwich. The remainder is used in the slow-cooker for a tasty casserole, without too much preparation time. That with plenty of vegetables will usually make two meals for me so in total I get about three meals out of one whole chicken.

I started eating more chicken when changing my lifestyle after being diagnosed as almost Type 2 diabetic. Chicken, being a white meat without too much fat but lots of protein is reckoned to be good when undertaking such a change.

The lifestyle change worked I was no longer pre-diabetic and I lost 10kg in weight too! ,

I would use the breast to roast or to make Sweet and Sour or Chicken Kiev or Southern Fried Chicken. I don't eat chicken legs/wings/thighs so they would go in a cauldron with the carcass to make soup.

Jazzi, I use strong kitchen scissors, a small serrated Kitchen Devil knife, or my hands to break the bones!
One of my children used to run a mile when l used to break the bones, as she didn't like the sound!

ST, l forgot about chicken Kiev that l make too.
I wonder if you would post your recipe for the Southern Fried Chicken coating. Please, as it sounds lovely.

I usually use this one :-
