What Is A Chicken Tenderloin?
You can generally find ready-to-eat chicken tenderloins already cut in the frozen chicken section. If not, just cut 3cm slices from a chicken breast — it’s the same thing. Also, you can often save a few bucks by cutting your own!

Notes & Wine Advice


How To Separate Chicken Wings

Some butchers will have the wings already broken down for the consumer; however, more often you will have to purchase whole wings. To separate the wing into the different parts, first stretch it out. There will be two cuts to each wing, yielding three parts: the drumette, the wingette and the tip. Using kitchen shears or a sharp knife, cut the wing at each joint.
