Chicken is not a reasonable kin to a human when it comes to dismemberment. you need the a heavy animal or a similar animal, which is probably why they don't go for home cooks.

To me, this also means they should go for scientists and farmers, but cooks? No.

But the principle is the same. You don't just hack away at the body (or chicken) at random. You figure out where the joints are, which is pretty easy so long as you get started before rigor mortis sets in. (Or after.) I don't mean to be grisly, but here's how I'd do it:

Start with a very sharp and proper knife, it's non-negotiable - butchers and surgeons know this, and so do people who cook a lot. Loosen the joint by flexing the limb and gently palpating with your fingertips until you know where the two bones meet. Take your blade (should be very sharp and big/long enough to make deep, long cuts, not a paring knife) and do a sweeping cut into the muscle right over the joint. Hopefully you'll meet the tendons that hold the joint together. You can cut through those and disarticulate the two sets of bones, then cut through the muscle on the other side. You can do this joint by joint, cutting it up into sections as small as you like.

Obviously you'll want to do this in a place where you an clean up, preferably after blood flow has slowed or stopped. And if you have a chainsaw, then brute force can take the place of delicacy and you don't have to worry about not being able to cut through bone neatly. But it'd be way messier.

weight matters a lot with efficient processing, so regardless of whether you're practiced with a smaller dissimiar animal, you'd need to be practiced with heavy or more similar ones to be able to effectively (and quickly since this is usually what cop shows point at) and cleanly dismember one. like "loosen the joint by flexing the limb" is something you need the muscles to do on a human or other heavy mammal, since mammal bones are much much denser.

I'm not saying anyone couldn't learn, I'm saying you're not going to seemed skilled if your only experience is processing chicken.

I mean... how are you picturing this? You don't have to pick up the entire person to flex a limb. You just need to have the strength to manipulate a leg, or an arm. You don't even necessarily have to pick it up, just move it back and forth. It'd be more awkward than cutting up a chicken, but not nearly as challenging as you seem to think.
