I struggle with it too. I have friends who play electric with no pick all the time and I am amazed at how they do it clearly.

There are lots of videos on YouTube about chicken picking - just do a search. There are some old ones by Danny Gatton that explain how he sounded like three guitars!

My best compromise seems to be a pick held between thumb and first finger with the second and third finger clawing away at some of the strings.
