I was with him until he pulled the skin off. HERESY, I say! I didn't work on developing a crispy skin just to peel it off. If the blade dulls a little, I just drag it across the steel a couple times.
Okay, truth be known I do keep a smallish pile of random skin pieces off to the side of the serving tray. But I do try to leave as much skin with the meat as I can.
But I pretty much carve my bird the way he demonstrates.
