One last time... I DID work at a KFC summer of 1971.
I don't know how they cut it since then, but back then it was 9
pieces. The breast was cut into 3 pieces. The tip of the breast cut
off first (the keel) then the remaining breast cut in half including
1/2 of the backbone on each piece.
Of all the daily mundane jobs at KFC, my two favorite "chores" were
cutting the whole chickens every 2 days and going out on deliveries.
Most others didn't want to cut as it was a somewhat dangerous job.
No one needs to tell me that I'm wrong. I cut who knows how many
chickens that summer....easily hundreds of them. Back then, it was
always 9 pieces.
