Grilled chicken legs

This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks. It’s often more expensive to buy two ready-prepared chicken breasts than a grilled chicken legs chicken. From a whole chicken you’ll get two breasts, two thighs, two drumsticks, plus a carcass and wings for making simple stock. Pull the legs slightly away from the body.

Cut through the skin and twist the leg slightly to remove the leg bone from the socket joint. Using a large, sharp knife, cut the legs away from the body, cutting around the “oyster” on the underside of the chicken. Separate the thighs from the drumsticks: run your finger along the thigh bone until you can feel the joint between the thigh and the drumstick. Smooth the skin over the breast. Feel for the V-shaped wishbone at the neck opening of the bird.
