Gosh that's clever Susie how do you manage to keep the bird in one piece and get all the bones out of it? 
I have enough trouble jointing a chook, all goes well until I have to try to get the breasts off then I end up whacking pathetically with a knife and getting all sorts of bits of broken bones. Ditto splitting the two breasts. 
My husband does the thwack really hard with a chinese cleaver but he once did it on top of a glass hob and broke it.
Red's post has just popped up - so that's how everyone does it, roast everything else afterwards! Aha!
