Chicken ‘oysters’ are not really oysters, nor are they in any way related to rocky mountain oysters. They are tender little bites one will only get for a chef treat, or if you break down chickens as I do 2 Chickens $10 – 30 servings. This is one of the reasons I do two chickens at a time. Also, it is a bit of work, but not much more to do two than one. I only do them every 2-3 months, depending on sales and what other proteins I find in the meantime. Watch for 2 for $10 sales and 88 cents a pound.
There are little hollows in the back, along the spine, it looks like a tiny little buttocks from the back of the chicken if you know where to look and how to extract these little jewels. Small bits don’t freeze well, these I keep out to use in the days just after doing a chicken run.
This is so quick, so easy, and so good. Basic techniques all brought together.
