How to Cut into 8 Pieces<\/h2>\r\n
\"How<\/div>\r\n

Today we\u2019ll show you how to cut using kitchen scissors. If you don\u2019t usually use a knife, this is a must-see!<\/p>\r\n

\u2460 Cut the belly side in half<\/h3>\r\n
\"\u2460\"Cutting<\/div>\r\n

Start cutting from the tail along the belly and slice the chicken vertically in half using scissors.<\/p>\r\n

\"Cutting<\/div>\r\n

The bones near the neck are thick and hard to cut, so be sure to support the chicken firmly and apply pressure when using the scissors.<\/p>\r\n

\u2461 Cut the back side in half<\/h3>\r\n
\"\u2461\"\u2461<\/div>\r\n

Since the inside of the chicken is hollow with the organs removed, flip it over and cut the back side in half.<\/p>\r\n

\"\u2461<\/div>\r\n

As you can see, it can be cut cleanly into two halves.<\/p>\r\n

\u2462 Cut horizontally in half<\/h3>\r\n
\"\u2462\"\u2462<\/div>\r\n

Now take the vertically halved chicken and cut it horizontally in half. The chicken may be slippery from the oil, so be extra careful not to injure yourself with the scissors!<\/p>\r\n

\u2463 Finally, cut into 8 pieces<\/h3>\r\n
\"\u2463\"\u2463<\/div>\r\n
\"\u2463\"\u2463<\/div>\r\n

Cut each of the 4 pieces again in half to make 8 pieces. Since the amount of meat varies by part, cut based on the balance of meat rather than uniform size.<\/p>\r\n

\"\u2463<\/div>\r\n

Repeat the same for the other half, and you\u2019ll end up with 8 balanced pieces. Even without a kitchen knife, kitchen scissors alone can make the task simple. If you don\u2019t usually use a knife, scissors are a great alternative!<\/p>\r\n

\"Your<\/div>\r\n

Arrange it on a plate and your table instantly becomes more festive. This is sure to liven up any home party!<\/p>\r\n

\u2464 Save leftovers for curry<\/h3>\r\n
\"\u2464<\/div>\r\n

Leftover chicken can be added to curry for a delicious chicken curry. The combination of herb-infused chicken and the spices in the curry create a refined and aromatic flavor.<\/p>\r\n

How to Reheat<\/h2>\r\n

\u2460 Use a microwave<\/h3>\r\n
\"\u2460<\/div>\r\n

Has your takeout chicken gone cold? You can enjoy hot, juicy chicken at home just like it’s fresh out of the oven!
\r\nStart by microwaving it for 2 to 2.5 minutes at 600 watts for a whole chicken.<\/p>\r\n

\u2461 Bake in the oven<\/h3>\r\n
\"\u2461<\/div>\r\n

Microwaving alone will warm it up nicely, but if you want the skin to be crispy, pop it in a preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes. Using both the microwave and oven will help you achieve a juicy, freshly-cooked texture.<\/p>\r\n
