no, ya cut both sides, removing the back bone completely, which i end up using for stock. The shears work for this, but i've also used a cleaver

DONE IT both ways, but like cooking all the bird. We make stock with the cooked backs. Most often I dismember the bird and grill. The seasoned, cooked backs add flavor, IMO.

k well at least take the feathers off
