That one comment about my knife angle completely changed how I debone chicken thighs

Been breaking down birds for like 5 years now for meal prep. Always had trouble getting that last bit of meat off the bone without mangling it. Posted a pic on a cooking sub and some dude just said "your blade's too flat, tilt it 10 degrees toward the bone." I almost ignored it because I thought I knew better. Tried it last Sunday on 12 thighs. First one felt weird but by the third one I was stripping them clean in like 15 seconds each. Felt dumb it took me that long to get that feedback. Anyone else have a random internet comment that actually fixed your technique?

Honestly, that tiny tilt change blew my mind too. Ngl, fixed my steak slicing instantly.

@jana_fox50 Try it anyway. Makes a real difference.

Tilting it 10 degrees? That's the game changer? Kinda feels like one of those things that sounds life changing but really it's just a tiny tweak that most people figure out eventually. I'd try it but I'm skeptical it's that big a deal.
