Get the knowledge you need to expertly prepare chicken at home. 

One of our favourite knife styles is the honesuki or Japanese poultry knife. If you enjoy making  kebabs or just want to learn how to break down a chicken to make chicken and waffles, a honesuki, combined with the knowledge of how to use it, is a great addition to your arsenal.

For $150, you will receive two chickens from a local, sustainable butcher to learn on and a $75 credit to you in-store towards your very own honesuki or boning knife. One of our staff will teach you how to break down the birds in preparation for two recipes: buttermilk fried chicken and boneless for skewering, which you will then finish preparing at home.

This is a very small class with a lot of one-on-one learning so space is extremely limited. Halal chicken options are available by request.

Unfortunately, we cannot allow minors in our classes.

Already have a Honesuki? You can use the credit from the included knife towards anything else in the store.

Awesome class!!!

"I attended an awesome chicken butchery class that was both fun and highly informative. The instructors broke down each technique clearly, making even intricate cuts feel accessible. The hands-on approach boosted my confidence and enhanced my skills, while a strong emphasis on safety reassured everyone. I left inspired and excited to experiment in the kitchen. The friendly atmosphere added to the overall positive experience, making it a must-try for any culinary enthusiast looking to master the art of chicken butchery."

Can’t wait!

"Class hasn’t happened yet but very excited!"

Celso P. (5/5)

Fun and educational

"This class was really fun and I think pretty great value, considering you get $75 store credit and 2 whole chickens included in the price. We had 2 Knifewear staff running the class, one doing all of the demonstration and then both would help everyone with breaking down the chickens. They have lots of honesuki's for you to try during the class and they teach you how to use them properly. I'd definitely recommend this class to anyone that already has some knife skills and wants to learn about breaking down a chicken and using a Japanese knife to do it."

Excellent experience

"Great class by the friendly and knowledgeable team at Knifewear Toronto. Clear explanation of the techniques and you never feel rushed. With the $75 credit and getting two (formerly) whole chickens to take home, the class is very affordable. You get to try a variety of honesuki knives which is helpful if you are planning to purchase one after (I did and I love it). After the class they laid out all of the honesuki knives available and explained how they differ from one another. Another great thing about the staff is they never try to upsell you on anything; they provide all of the info and you decide what works for you. I would definitely recommend to others."
