It's a wonderful tool for everyday cooking when you just can't, you know, throw chicken on the rotisserie in your own house.

I will suggest you could do the same by boiling a chicken.

That's what my mom did.

I remember this on Sundays, she would boil a chicken and just pull it apart.

And it wasn't necessarily for Sunday, but it would be used throughout the week in different, you know, meals.

So you can boil a chicken and do this.

You can also do this with your own roasted chicken or if you want to grill it or make a rotisserie on the grill if you've got one.

I've done chickens on my big green egg, whole chickens, and I love them.

So ultimately what it is, is when you cook it,

like that, it really wants to separate the bones on its own.

And when you start going in with a knife, which is our traditional way to separate the meat from the bone with a rotisserie chicken, that's great.

But you're going to lose some of that great meat.

So what you want to do is you want to get a Ziploc or zip top freezer bag that will one that will fit the entire chicken in there.

You Ziploc it, you let that heat kind of work its magic a little bit.

And then, uh,

Now with your bare hands on the outside of that gallon bag, you just start to massage it.

And with your thumbs, push it away from the bones.

Start flattening it out, pulling things apart.

So now your hands aren't in there.

You don't have to wear gloves.
