Directions:

  1. Rinse chicken under cold water, removing giblets and neck, set aside.

  3. Spread chicken open and cut through center of breastbone to separate into halves.
  4. Turn each half over, remove wings at joint attached to breast; separate leg and thigh from breast and cut apart.
  5. Place legs and breasts into the refrigerator.
  6. Place back, wings, and neck, if included, into a large saucepan with 4 cups of water; bring to a boil, over high heat.
