At this point you also have a perfect chicken for grilling or stewing.

Good Luck! And, watch those fingers! I know a guy's wife that actually went out and bought a pair of chain male gloves, like the slaughter house use, because she cut herself so many time.

But the savings is tremendous over buying precut chicken or (worse yet) already cooked chicken, just to avoid the butchery.
