Some boards have an SPI flash header where you can attach an external flash programmer (one low cost option would be the bus pirate at ~$30).
Without a header it might still be possible to apply a programmer to the chip directly using clips, but that's less convenient (and has the risk of failing if the board circuitry messes up the signal too much) I generally find external flashers more convenient than having to take care that I flash the right flash with the right image at all times and then hot swapping chips.
