Poultry shears, also known as poultry scissors, are a type of kitchen tool designed for preparing poultry. They are typically used for tasks such as:
Cutting through bones and joints of chicken, turkey, or duck.
Trimming fat and skin from meat.
Spatchcocking, which is the process of splitting a chicken or other bird open to be cooked flat.
These shears often feature a spring-loaded mechanism to reduce hand fatigue and have sharp, heavy-duty blades made of stainless steel to handle tough cutting tasks.
