Boning a Chicken Breast

The illustrated instructions below show you how to bone a chicken breast.


  1. Remove the skin. Find some loose skin, place your fingers underneath and peel it off. (figures 1 and 2)

  2. Take a sharp boning knife and, cutting away from you, slice off any extra skin or fat. (figure 3)

  3. Turn the breast over and you'll find two thick slices of meat on one edge. This is the breast and a piece known as "the tender". (figure 4) Work your fingers between the tender and the bone. (figure 5)

  4. Peel the meat away from the bone. (figure 6)

  5. If the meat is stubborn and does not want to pull, use your boning knife and scrape the meat from the bone and cut any places where the meat is still sticking to the bone. (figure 7)

  6. Once completed there are four parts, the skin, the tender, the breast, and the bone (figure 8). Save the bones to later make a chicken stock.
