Perform evisceration carefully

Solution

Carefully remove the internal organs (eviscerate) without rupturing the intestines.

Explanation

Make an incision near the vent and carefully remove the intestines, gizzard, liver, heart, lungs, and crop. Save edible organs (giblets: heart, liver, gizzard) if desired. Rinse the cavity thoroughly.

Notes

Sharp knife needed. Avoid contaminating meat with intestinal contents.
