Prepare the Chicken
Using sharp scissors, carefully cut out the backbone of the chicken and dispose. Rinse chicken out to remove any pieces of bone and flesh. Pat chicken dry with a paper towel then use your softened southwest butter and smear it under the skin of the chicken. Make sure to smear it on the breast, legs, and thighs. Smear any excess butter on the skin of the chicken.
