Hi,

Does anybody have recommendations on what meat grinder I can purchase to grind chicken bones? I tried the Waring Pro MG105 and I fed into it a few chicken wings and immediately the machine clogged up even with the biggest plate settings. It looks like the grinder didn’t like the skin and everything just turned into a big bloody mush. I’m returning the grinder back to the store and I don’t know what to get next or where to buy a decent meat grinder. I can only find meat grinders online or at stores like Bed Bath and Beyond (which only had 1 model) and Sears, Walmart. Any stores anyone can recommend? I didn’t want to go through the hassle of return shipping if the meat grinder doesn’t perform to what I need. Also, I’m looking for something somewhat affordable. Please share any knowledge of experience you have. Thank you.

Is there a specific reason you need to grind? Chicken bones are very sift, and great for dental health. With grinding, you lose all of the great dental benefits.

Alot of folks like the Cabela’s 1 to 1.5 horsepower grinder and say that grinding chicken is no problem. I think those are $350 or less. I use a Weston 22 which has no problem with chicken to turkey to pork ribs but it was over $500.
