In this cooking video, chef Jason demonstrates how to cut a whole chicken with ease. To cut whole chicken, you'll need a good pair of kitchen shears and a chef knife.

One of the most popular methods is the 8 cut chicken, which divides the bird into 8 pieces. This includes the two breast pieces, two drumsticks, two thighs and two wings. It comes in handy for any chicken recipes calling for braising, grilling, stewing and barbecue.

Jason also shows how to cut chicken wings, and remove the tip (which is perfect for making chicken stock). He also demonstrates the proper method on how to cut a chicken breast in half.
