the diagram in this link shows you how:-

http://www.backyardchickens.com/LC-wingclipping.html

if you leave the first couple of feathers then when the chicken stands with her wing at her side she still looks complete, remember though to just clip one wing and not both. After they moult then if you still need to clip (although by then hopefully the chicken will be heavier and not need doing) clip the opposite wing to keep the muscles balanced.
Staffies are softer than you think.
