Place the chicken breast-side down on a cutting board. Using kitchen shears, cut along both sides of the backbone from tail to neck and remove it entirely. Flip the chicken breast-side up, open it flat, and press firmly down on the breastbone with the heel of your hand until you hear a crack and the bird lies flat.
