I'm not sure about the 'best' qualification. That's way too complicated, not many people have the patience to learn and the time to do all of that. Just buy the chicken from the store cut up (and, I don't know about you guys, but where I shop, I can get the meat guy to cut anything up for me for free...). A lot of times machines are doing this stuff anyway, so cut up meat is pretty affordable. I particularly don't like cutting up my own meat because my hands up smelling weird, I have to clean up and wash the cutting boards, knives, etc. quickly (or else they start stinking up very soon), etc.

Here's a video on how to cup up a chicken: http://www.nytimes.com/video/dining/100000002155362/cutting-...

The great thing is you can make chicken stock with it. Add the chicken stock to the pilaf rice you're making, which goes great with the chicken!
