I did shoot a chicken scalding video but it got accidentally deleted. I'll have to recreate it. But for this one it's easy. If you have a plucker, or if you have a friend that has a plucker, then use it! Plucking by hand, while an option, if you are doing more than one chicken you are going to get tired of picking feathers really quickly.

This plucker I actually borrowed from a friend who bought it from CC Only.

Spraying the chicken with cold water does two things. It gets the plucked feathers out of the way and down the feather chute. It also continues to help loosen the feathers from teh scalding processing. And I guess in a small way starts to cool the bird off.

Here's the playlist for all the poultry processing videos:
