My genius friend (ChatGPT) says: The term "oysters" is actually a colloquial name given to a specific part of a chicken, known as the "oyster meat" or "chicken oysters." These are not actually related to the seafood oysters but are rather small, oval-shaped pieces of dark meat found on the back of a chicken, near the thigh. Chicken oysters are considered to be a delicacy by many because they have a tender texture and a rich, juicy flavor. They are highly sought after by chefs and food enthusiasts. The reason they are called "oysters" is that they are said to have a similar taste and texture to actual oysters, although the two foods are completely different. The chicken oysters are located in an area of the bird that doesn't get much exercise, resulting in a more tender and succulent meat. This, combined with their relatively small size and rich flavor, makes them a popular choice for those who appreciate their unique taste. It's worth noting that not all chickens have visible oyster meat, as it can vary depending on the specific breed and individual bird. Furthermore, the term "oysters" may not be widely used in all culinary traditions or regions.
