1/2 pound butter or margarine
2 (1 pound) live Maine lobsters*
4 small onions, peeled

To sever spinal cord, insert point of knife through back shell where body and tail of lobster come together. Turn lobster over. With sharp knife, split body of lobster down middle, cutting through thin undershell just to back shell and leaving back shell intact. Discard dark intestinal vein running down center of lobster; also discard small sac below head. Crack large claws.Scrub potatoes. Scrub clam shells under cold running water, using a stiff brush to remove dirt and sand. Place clams in a large bowl; add cold water to cover and let stand 30 minutes. Meanwhile, use scissors to trim off tops of ears of corn. Remove a few outer husks from each ear and reserve. Turn back remaining husks; remove and discard silk. Replace husks as they were. Soak ears and reserved husks in lightly salted water until you are ready to cook the corn.In a large skillet, saut? chicken, a few pieces at a time, in 2 tablespoons butter. Brown chicken on all sides until golden, adding more butter as needed. This should take about 10 minutes per side.
