[Sca-cooks] stuffing birds with...birds....

Don't feel intimidated!

OK - I don't think I've ever boned a whole bird - I don't think I've 
ever had cause to. But, back when I was in college, and really just 
learning myself, I taught my cooking-inept boyfriend to bone chicken 
breasts... he was broke and living in one room, with a hot plate. I 
discovered he was paying for boned breasts, because he could saute them 
quickly, but then making "chicken soup" with bouillon cubes... it was 
cheaper, more nourishing, and not too hard to bone the meat and make 
broth with the bones (OK, not great broth, but better...)  He got good 
at it, too...  didn't really leave enough meat for the broth, by the 
Spring!  And if he could do that, you can certainly do a whole bird. 
(You already know how to hold a knife... that helps...)
