Me again!

So I've plucked and gutted the chicken, an experience which was like something out of a gastly horror film.

But I can't get the wing feathers off.  Any tips?

I've poured very hot water on them at skin level (it was tyrkey not a chicken but I guess it must be similar) and that made them easier to pull out.
Wisdom is knowing what to ignore - be comfortable in your own skin.
