kitchen shears , hands down
if you are having trouble , you've for crappy shears
this one is The One :
my unit :
its razor sharp and not expensive. It has very good leverage . I wash it by holding one handle while its open and use a kitchen brush and soap
then pat and air dry open in a safe place.
you have the respect its sharpness , but once you do there is nothing like it
this is not the IKEA one to get for cutting chicken :
hover its great for all around kitchen cutting.
I think the above is < 4 USD. I have these all over the house I can reach for one of these when ever I want !
when you are using the HeavyDuty one , top picks , on a chicken back , or anything else
Make Sure you know where all of your finger tips are.
