How to remove the skin from chicken for stuffing

A clear master class to help the hard-working housewife! I’ll try to explain clearly how to remove the skin from a chicken so that you can then stuff it with something tasty. Statements like “the skin of a chicken will come off like a stocking” look tempting. Personally, this has never worked out for me. Perhaps this requires aerobatics?

I take it that the wings stay inside? Or are they taken out too?

The wings remain, but if you wish, you can get another half wing. You can't take them out entirely, unless it's some kind of virtuoso.

Parra, what useful work you have done, not everyone knows how to remove the skin without damaging it, and not every time it turns out perfect, I wish I could record a video like this - it helps a lot in practice, I was planning to make mincemeat and found your recipe - it will really help me make mincemeat at the highest level, thank you and good luck!

The skin comes off really easily, especially if the chicken has fat. I managed to remove almost all of it without a knife, I only helped with a knife on the back and left the wings, so the finished stuffed skin would look more interesting.
