Agreed on the scissors - I have a pair of Joyce chen's, rather small and very pointed but with big handles, which are great for chicken parts and for snipping fresh veggies and herbs. No better was to start shelling a lima! And I have a big heavy pair of shears for cutting whole chicken, to get the backbone out.
Does anybody bone a chicken?
