There are sometimes really great sales on whole chickens. I've seem some "guides", but there are always a couple of steps that don't seem very clear.
I know this is something that was probably a basic skill a couple of generations ago!

Alton Brown of Good Eats demonstrated how to Butterfly a chicken so it lays flat. He used a wooden model of a dinosaur skeleton to demonstrate. It was funny. But I can now butterfly a chicken! Kitchen shears make it much easier, btw.
