1. Put bird breast side up. To remove leg, take a sharp knife and cut through skin only, between breast and leg, down to where thigh joins body. Bend leg back until ball and socket joint pops out. Cut through joint to detach leg portion from breast, whilst holding leg out at an angle away from body. Some of meat from back will also be removed with leg. Repeat on other side.
2. To remove breast meat, run a sharp knife just to one side of breast bone. Use long sweeping strokes and turn knife at a slight angle, away from body of bird, to cut as close to bone as possible. Keep cutting downwards and outwards until breast comes away. Repeat on other side. Trim any excess skin off breasts, and remove sinew from meat.

An experienced and highly skilled team of food writers, stylists and digital content producers, the Good Housekeeping Cookery Team is a close-knit squad of food obsessives. Cookery Editor Emma Franklin is our resident chilli obsessive and barbecue expert, who spends an inordinate amount of time on holidays poking round the local supermarkets seeking out new and exciting foods. Senior Cookery Writer Alice Shields is a former pastry chef and baking fanatic who loves making bread and would have peanut butter with everything if she could. Her favourite carb is pasta, and our vibrant green spaghetti is her weeknight go-to. Lover of all things savoury, Senior Cookery Writer Grace Evans can be found eating crispy corn and nocellara olives at every opportunity, and will take the cheeseboard over dessert any time (though she cannot resist a slice of tres leches cake). With a wealth of professional kitchen know-how, culinary training and years of experience between them, they are all dedicated to ensuring every Good Housekeeping recipe is the best it can be, so you can trust they’ll work (and if they don’t – we’ll have the answer for why*) every time (*90% of the time the answer is: “buy an separate oven thermometer”!).
