Lab Experience: Breaking Down a Chicken

I thought that one of the most useful and interesting labs was when we broke down the chicken and made stock. Chicken is one of my main sources of protein, and knowing how to break one down will allow me to be more independent with my cooking. In addition, there are so many possible directions I can take once I have the basic ingredients made and ready to use. It is also healthier and saves money. Lastly, working with the chicken helped me become more confident in my abilities as a culinary student and improve my knife skills. I am eager to put all my skills to work on my own time, at home!
