Part 2: How to Butcher a Chicken

Once you’ve butchered and plucked your chicken, learn how to finish processing it for your table.


After butchering and plucking a chicken, the next processing step is evisceration, or removing the chicken’s inner organs. Many of these organs, such as the heart, liver and gizzard, can be saved to eat along with the meat, while others should be discarded appropriately.

Watch the video below to learn proper evisceration and cleaning techniques and how to bag the meat for future use.

I watched this video to make sure everything I am about to do is correct. Good information and I hope there will be more videos on chickens and other livestock for demonstrations.

Thanks for the video, my husband and I tried processing our own chickens before this video, it was not something to repeat, but we feel much more confident after watching this and we intend to try again in the coming year. We have always kept chickens for eggs just never eaten our own before.

Hi,
Isn't there a way to clean it without removing the tail?
