how do chinese and viet restaurants seperate chicken thigh meat?

**nonlinear** · 01-20-2009, 02:47 PM

just curious, cause it's time consuming relative to other parts of the chicken (excluding wings)... do they actually buy a bunch of chicken thighs and process them into bite-sized chunks by brute force, or can they be bought already mechanically seperaated or something?

max boost?

Why just viet restaurants? Why the isolation?

**ianmcc** · 01-20-2009, 02:52 PM

It's because they have little hands-to separate the meat from the bone easier.

well, 1) viet and chinese (among other cuisines) cut up the food for you so you don't need a knife and 2) in viet and chinese cuisine, chicken = chicken thighs.

i guess my question applies to other cuisines as well, but the only time i really notice eating chopped chicken thighs

How could you eat a chicken. they are kept in little cages for humans to eat then killed. You are so lazy for going to viet restaurant you should be out there killing your own chickens.

they debone the chicken thigh.

its actually pretty easy maybe 30 seconds for a thigh?

i do this for myself sometimes

Although I don't work in the kitchen, it's pretty quick process.

Reference to the most recent zoo thread.

Linear thinks it's inhumane to take animals out of the wild...

i said: it's inhumane to lock animals in cells for human amusement.

it's crazy how far and fast things get taken out of context around here, and how much a statement can be 'mutated' by just a few different paraphrases.

did you ever play the game telephone?????

Haha and it's crazy how easily people are baited around here...

That and I was making fun of the people that weren't picking up on the finer points/distinctions of your arguments

Anyways... back to chicken.

You can buy boneless skinless chicken thighs at most supermarkets.

**nonlinear** · 01-20-2009, 04:12 PM

cool guys, i was just eating some oriental wok and became curious as to how they did that. i don't buy the chicken thighs and think i've only tried to clean them like 2 times in my life, and it seemed like a major PITA but i guess i'm just a thigh noob

EDIT: and i wasn't even deboning them, just trying to get the damn skin off haha (there is that weird line/fold where the skin is like attached by connective tissue into the bone and it's a bitch to deal with

After enough practice, you can do it in about 3 cuts.

5 if you include trimming the fat.

That's awesome. He spends more time "massaging" it then cutting it. I miss that show.
