The mineral oil could possibly give you the runs, as one of its many uses
is as a laxitive. How would you hold the chicken and cut it with the chain
saw...use a vise? Usually I like to work alone on a project/task in the
kitchen not that somebody else isn't welcome but I assign them a differing
task.

Using a cleaver would work better, easier to clean, be safer and possibly
cheaper.
