to the ribs as you can until it comes clean away (8 and 9) For breasts on on the bone cut down the the side of the the breast bone as as before but instead of continuing to cut the meat away from the rib cage instead use poultry shears to cut through the rib cage (11 and 12) Turn the carcass over again and cut away where the breast is still attached to its side SEPARATE BREASTS FROM WINGS Feel where the the wing joint attaches to the the breast (this is is the bone you will normally
