Remove the backbone and add to the stock pile. Remove the neck and add to the stock pile. Remove the excess fat to make schmaltz. Remove the breast from the breast bone, using the tip of your knife. Remove the airline cut breast with part of wing included and tip removed. Remove the other breast using the same process.
