Depends on what kind of chicken you are eating. If you are eating chicken without the bone, with the fork in your left hand and the knife in your right. Turn your fork facing the chicking and point the pointer finger above the fork tines to hold the chicken down - gently cut a bite sized piece with your knife.
If you are cutting the bottom of a chicken with the skin on - gently (with the fork in left and knife in right) slide the skin off and proceed to gently cut the edible parts make sure not to force too much pressure on chicken because it may fly halfway across the room. (have heard many stories)
If it is chicken wings or a chicken drumstick it is even within the point of ettiquette to use your fingers to eat the flesh off the bone, but I'd advice not to do this publicly on a date in a restaurant if you want to make a good impression.

Yes, I eat most food with a fork and knife, including chicken.
If someone were to serve a big bowl of popcorn chicken with napkins nearby, I'd eat them like finger food. Any portion bigger than two bites, however, requires a knife and fork as I do not chew food off the bone (like cavemen did)

Use the fork to hold the beast whilst you hack off the appendages and split the rib and back. also use the fork to draw off the greatest portion of the meat from the breast and appendages. Politely place the fork and knife to the right of the plate, place your napkin at your ready convenience and and dig in using thumb, index and 2nd finger to politely gorge with, finish off the delicacy by gnawing on the bones (the knobs on the ends of the drumsticks, thighs and wings should not be overlooked). As the final exquisite taste and gnawing treat, gnaw the gristle off the end of the breastbone and savor the flavor. When finished wipe down with the napkin, let loose with a gratuitous belch. and tell hostess; "Marm that was some gooood s&&t !

You never go wrong eating with a knife and fork. It may be accepted to eat fried chicken in some Southern restaurants but in general when out use the cutlery.

Fork in one hand, knife in other. It's pretty easy when you get the hang of it!
