Chicken Processing Edit



A reader (pixilatedtoo) suggested that leaving the breast meat on the bone until rigor mortis had completed its cycle would result in more tender meat.  I did some reading and found THIS study confirming what she was saying.  I now suggest removing the entire breast on the bone and then chilling it for 24 hours before deboning.  I would use a set of kitchen shears to remove the entire structure.
