Set chicken on its side with the breast away from you. Place a fork against the thigh to steady chicken and, using a carving knife, cut between the body and the leg to begin to separate the two. André Baranowski

Step 2
Pierce the breast with the fork to steady the chicken, and complete the separation of leg from body by working the knife through the connecting joint. André Baranowski
