Tying a leg of lamb properly is one of those traditional butcher’s skills that looks quick and easy when you’ve done it for years.

In this video I slow it down and show three examples of the butcher’s knot, so you can see how the string tightens, locks, and holds the joint securely.

A good knot keeps the lamb neat, helps it hold its shape, and gives a better finish for cooking and carving.

It looks simple, but getting it tight, tidy, and secure without fighting the string takes a bit of practice.

Forty years at the block makes these things look easy.

A quick bit of old-school butchery skill.

Tying a chicken helps keep it neat, even, and ready for the oven.

It looks easy when it goes right.

This time, thankfully, the chicken behaved itself.

Tying a chicken usually looks quick and easy when you’ve done it enough times.

This one decided not to play along.

A little butchery blooper from the block, because even after 40 years, not every chicken wants to cooperate
