SC - chicken oysters?

[Marilyn Traber]

chicken oysters are a tiny roundish bit of meat found on the carcass by flipping
it onto its breast bone, slicing the skin along the spine and peeling it back.
Now that the lil bird is flayed, you will see a sort of rounded nugget of meat
on a line between the wing joint and the thigh joint. it is considered to be the
best part of the bird by everybody in my family[well, turkeys also have it, and
most other birds as well, but on anything smaller than a chicken it becomes sort
of like cooking with birds tongues, the flavor may be the greatest in the workd,
but there so small youd need an exhorbitant number of birds to make one
portion...]
