Cranfield Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Sharp knife along the top of the breast bone, then down. Takes the breast off like a scallop. I then skin it , which takes the feathers off as well. A friend of mine roughly breasts them by pushing his thumb in the same way I use a knife. Whenever I try that method, I can't get the breast out as clean as he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flytie Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 I lift the skin (and feathers) over the breast, nick it with a knife. Put the Knife in the hole and lift the skin from the meat. When I have skinned it, using a sharp boning knife cut down from the breat bone and lift the breast meat out. Afterwards, If you can get the skin off the whole body (I usually discard the legs) cut down the back of the carcass and remove the guts. Then make stock with the bones, ideal for soups and gravy for a game pie!!!!!!!!! Regards, flytie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
