When you start breaking down those chix, keep one thing in mind: the secret of doing it, or any cutting task for that matter, is a sharp knife that is comfortable in your hand.
There is nothing in the kitchen as dangerous as a dull knife.
Other than that you should be fine. Just take your time: The idea is to learn how to do it right, not how to do it fast. Speed will come naturally over time.
Also, when you put the parts up in freezer bags it's important to get rid of as much air as possible. Air is what causes freezer burn. If you don't have a vacuum sealer, try this. Put the parts in a zipper bag. Close it all but about a half inch. The submerge the whole thing in a tub of water, right up to the zipper line. Seal the last little bit. This will drive all the air out.
Be sure and dry the bag before putting in the freezer.
We now return to our regularly scheduled show.
