Chicken trimming and technique

[McEvoy AZ]

Any advice on how to properly trim chicken thighs, as I could use some instruction. I might be trimming too much as my thighs never seem full enough. Also I am having issue with the skin. I can get bite thru, but I have been cutting the skin completely off and it seems I am hit or miss with how it works for me.i could use some advice.

a few coaching videos for cooking comps available and also you tube always has something...but cant replace practice..practice..

Lately, we throw a light trim on them and cook them up. No skin issues, always bite through.

Other folks remove skin and do whatever it is they do with them and then reattach before cooking.

Make sure to attempt to keep them all a consistent size. I've already said too much....good luck.
