Can these shears cut chicken bones?

They would cut chicken bones or turkey bones with ease. That is what we bought them for and use them for. Only problem we encountered is that in use, the handles get slippery, making them difficult to use. Adding some split vinyl tubing over the handles solved this problem.

Yes, they do an excellent job cutting bones. Mine are almost two years old with no issues!

Well, these poultry scissors are heavy duty and are a good quality. I have no problem spatchcocking chicken or divining a chicken into pieces. However, I have never used them on turkey. I think that they are sufficient to do the job, but wouldn't want to break them.

This knife is sharp and it will cut anything but it is designed to remove meat from a bone.May I suggest you look at the Voctorinox chegs knife for cutting boneless chicken as it has multple uses as well. I hope this helps.

If you are referring to cutting the actual bone, I do not know. I would not attempt it with any electric knife. It's just my opinion.

No, the 2 blades slide off a bone that size. There is a notch near the pivot but I can never seem to use it. These shears do cut up the back of a chicken and around a thigh joint nicely.

I don't know since I use mine strictly for making sausage from soft tissue only. The cutting blades are excellent, however, I wouldn't recommend ever putting chicken bones in any food stuff simply for safety reasons. The reason I say this, is that even after cooking chicken bone with heavy steam, it is still a danger for choking and risk of soft tissue tear in the digestive system.

You could if the blades were similar to that of a knife. If they are like scissors, no...

Yes! We have used them to spatchcock our Thanksgiving turkeys the last two years and the shears are amazing. These are solid, heavy duty shears. There are a couple of tough spots on the turkey where I have to pull back a little and cut using just the tips of the shears and/or use two hands, but the shears will cut through.

Yes! I cut up a whole chicken recently and it was like a knife through butter.

I think that they will be ok for Bichon (my dogs are coton de tulear). They are very good shears.

Well, you do need to cut AT THE JOINT on the larger (leg) bones. If you must hack your way through the leg or thigh bone in the middle of it, I'd suggest a cleaver, not the scissors. Personally, I never cut any meat with anything BUT a knife. Scissors, while very popular with some for poultry and other fowl, seem somehow sacrilegious to me in the cutting of meat. Also, these are sold, I believe, as general kitchen shears, not specifically poultry shears, which may have a heavier blade and offset handles.

I think these would probably work. Why not try this one first as you were going to buy them anyway. Then if you don't think they're adequate, buy the poultry shears.

Don't know why not . . . might be kind of overkill, though. I would stick with regular kitchen shears that you can put through the dishwasher

I don't believe it's meant for all the bones in the chicken. I've only ever seen them used for spatch-cocking where the ribs along the spine are cut to remove the spine. If you're cutting at joints: you should be using a metal knife (do a video search for an easy technique). Regarding the suggestion of Cutco in another answer: just compare the reviews and prices. Cutco is a joke which is why you never see a Chef wielding Cutco, and why they're sold and marketed the way they are.

I don't believe so. They are meant for baking/cookie cutting and are not that sharp.

I use my kitchen shears to cut them up! Some you can break with your fingers but some are a bit firmer! My dogs love them and are the best deal in town.
