Abstract
A chicken thigh skinner includes a table having a feed end and a discharge end. A skinning portion of the table is adjustable along the longitudinal axis of the table to accommodate different size poultry parts. The skinning portion defines an elongated slot which is generally Y-shaped in plan. The arms of the Y define a generally triangular-shaped spear. A pair of counter-rotating spiral cut skinning rolls extend along and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the table. The skinning rolls define a nip which is positioned below the slot of the skinning portion of the table. A conveyor is supported by the table above the nip of the skinning rolls and the slot of the skinning portion of the table.
