Just to clarify is the throwdown only with whole chickens or thighs too?

I'll be watching from the sidelines on this. My cooks cannot be forced. I won't just do a cook if I'm not inspired.

I think it would be quicker if the video were easier to follow. Someone should shoot it from the cook's point of view. Anyone have one of those gopro cameras?

ok, I've never done a ballotine, I've never cut my thumb off either, so we'll see how many 'firsts' I have with this throw down. I don't want to sit on the sidelines, so I'm going to try to force my inspiration on this one.
can anyone give me an idea (ballpark) of what the volume capacity of an average whole ballotine chicken is so I can figure out what the hell to stuff in it besides my thumb?

I kept expecting the guy in the video to whack a finger off. Those knives looked sharp! think the key is to talk like a frenchman.

I'll pass on this opportunity.
I've ballotined a duck and 2 Cornish game hens and I've come to the conclusion, I don't like the amount of work the prep involves vs. the payoff.
I may still try to ballotine a turkey next Thanksgiving, but I'm leaning towards "not" and doing a spatchcock and making dressing in the oven instead of stuffing a bird. In fact the more I think about it, it will be the spatchcock. I'll buy some extra turkey wings and lay them on the dressing like someone else on here did this year.
But, hey, y'all have fun carving up them carcasses.

I ran into tendons and all kinds of obstructions I never saw in the video.

Due to increase work, I won't be participating, but I'd suggest adding one more pic of the butchered bird. I'll be watching.__________________________________________It's not a science, it's an art. And it's flawed.- Camp Hill, PA
