As with the proverbial cat, I\u2019m sure there is more than one way to clean a chicken.\u00a0 This is just one way, you can tweak it however you feel the need to for your situation.<\/p>\n
Kill it first<\/strong><\/p>\n Starting with a live chicken that you have a hold of, grab its neck with your strong hand down, so that your thumb is closer to its wings and your pinky is closer to its head.\u00a0 Now spin your hand in a tight circle fast so that the chicken\u2019s body spins in a larger circle.\u00a0 This will kill the chicken for sure.<\/p>\n Chop chop<\/strong><\/p>\n After you have wrung the chicken\u2019s neck it will still probably move a little.\u00a0 That\u2019s ok, just hold it down with its wings in tight with your weak hand, and lay its neck on a piece of wood that you can drive a sharp edge (like a machete) into.\u00a0 Chop off the head.\u00a0 Then hold it up by the feet letting the blood drip out until it has stopped.\u00a0 Then lay the chicken down again and chop off its feet just below the feathers.<\/p>\n Pluck it<\/strong><\/p>\n At this point, most people would dunk it hot water.\u00a0 But wet chickens smell worse than wet dogs and you really don\u2019t need to do this to get the feathers out, though it will speed up the process.\u00a0 Just hold the chicken down with your weak hand, and close to your weak hand, so as not to allow the skin to stretch and tear, grab some feathers and pull.\u00a0 Repeat until the chicken is bare.\u00a0 You shouldn\u2019t have much trouble except with the tips of the wings, where you might want to use the hot water.<\/p>\n Gut it<\/strong><\/p>\n Make a cut around the neck, going low towards the collar bones, but trying not to go too deep so that you don\u2019t hit the gizzard.\u00a0 Reach in and remove the neck innards and the gizzard (which can be eaten if desired, just make sure to separate from the intestines).\u00a0 Then flip it over and cut around the anus while keeping in mind that you do not want to puncture the intestines. However, if you do puncture them, there is no reason to throw out the chicken, just wash it well afterwards).\u00a0 Once you have a complete circle around the anus, remove it, with the intestines attached, then pull out the rest of the guts.\u00a0 If the chicken is a smaller breed you may need to enlarge the hole, but get the intestines out first.<\/p>\n Wash it<\/strong><\/p>\n Wash it off, and wash it out.\u00a0 Just water and vinegar should do the trick.\u00a0 This is more important if you are going to freeze it or marinate it instead of cooking it right away, but might as well play it safe, it will only take a second.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now it\u2019s ready to cook and eat.\u00a0 If you have not cleaned an animal before and are considering raising other animals like rabbits or pigs for meat, chickens are a great animal to train on.\u00a0 They aren\u2019t as large as a pig or as cute as a rabbit, but they taste just as good.
