As usual, if you know a simple rule you can figure it out. Even if you've never done it before. For butchery, as a general rule just find a natural seam or joint and slide your knife through it. With very few exceptions you don't need large amounts of force or to chop through any bone.

Note that they are not "butchering" a chicken (that would mean they would start with a live chicken), they are simply being asked to cut up a whole chicken.

[@JohnDoe-eg5ob]

As times change so does the language. While butchering was once both the act of slaughtering and preparing meat from a animal carcass. Now in days they are seen as different professions because of how our industry works. You have slaughters at slaughter houses that dispatch, gut, bleed and clean the animal for it to be shipped to butchers shops that then buy these prepared carcasses to cut and sell to the average consumer. In other words, every slaughter house worker is a butcher but not every butcher are slaughter's.
