Abstract
An apparatus for cutting wings from boned whole poultry breasts includes a pair of spaced chain loops supporting laterally aligned pairs of fixtures which hold the wings to support the breasts and serve as anvils for annular knife blades which are driven outward from a central position to cut the breasts from the wings. Thereafter, the wings remain secured in the fixtures, while first the tips are removed by a guillotine-type cutter, and then the flat wing segment is folded against the drumette before the elbow joint is cut.
